A man who is wanted in connection with burglary offences who escaped police custody in Northampton is still at large.
Derry John Crowshaw escaped custody from the Criminal Justice Centre in Brackmills at around 12.30pm on Tuesday May 12, while he was awaiting transport to court. This led to a huge police search in Hardingstone, which included the police helicopter circling for around an hour and on-the-ground searches, with police dogs.
Northamptonshire Police has today (Monday May 18) confirmed that 35-year-old Crowshaw is still on the run and that their search to find him continues.
A spokeswoman for the force said: “He’s still outstanding and work continues to locate him.”
Anyone who sees him or anyone with any information about where he is, is asked to call police on 999 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
