People urged not to approach man with ‘Rylan’ tattoo who absconded from prison

Police are urging people not to approach a man that's wanted by authorities after failing to return to prison, following a release on a temporary licence.

Lewis Peters has been missing from HMP Hatfield prison since July 28.

He's currently serving a 12-year sentence for conspiracy to supply Class A drugs. People are being warned not to approach him if they see him, and instead contact 999, quoting incident number 39 of 29 July 2022.

The appeal was launched by South Yorkshire Police, who say Peters is wanted for failing to return to HMP Hatfield. In a statement, SYP said: "Officers in Doncaster are asking for your help to locate Lewis Peters.

"Peters, 26, is wanted after failing to return from his release on temporary licence (ROTL) to HMP Hatfield, on Thursday 28 July. He is serving a 12-year sentence for conspiracy to supply Class A drugs.

"Peters is white, and described as around 6ft tall, of stocky build, with short brown hair. His beard is more trimmed than shown in this photograph.

"He is believed to have a tattoo sleeve on his right arm of religious images, and a tattoo on his left arm that says ‘Rylan’. Peters has links to Nottingham, Birmingham and the Boston area of Lincolnshire.

"Have you seen him? Do you know where he might be?

"Please do not approach Peters if you see him but contact police on 999, quoting incident number 39 of 29 July 2022. You can also give information to officers via live chat, our online portal or by calling 101 - please quote the same incident number."
