"Shortly after 1pm on Tuesday 4 November, the Met was informed by the Prison Service that a prisoner had been released in error from HMP Wandsworth on Wednesday 29 October. The prisoner is a 24-year-old Algerian man. Officers are carrying out urgent enquiries in an effort to locate him and return him to custody."
"The Telegraph are reporting that a police manhunt has been launched for a second asylum seeker mistakenly freed from prison. The question is, can (the Speaker) advise on how I can ask the Justice Secretary whether he was aware of this when I asked him about it repeatedly in Prime Minister's questions?"
"the strongest release checks that have ever been in place."
A prisoner was accidentally released from HMP Wandsworth on 29 October and is now the subject of an urgent police manhunt. The released individual is a 24-year-old Algerian man with previous sex offence convictions and was believed to be serving time for trespass with intent to steal. The Prison Service informed the Metropolitan Police on 4 November, triggering enquiries to locate and return him to custody. The error followed a mistaken release from HMP Chelmsford five days earlier. Enhanced release checks were promised after the earlier case. Parliamentary questions were raised about further mistaken releases.
