Police are appealing for information after a man absconded from an open prison in Derbyshire.

Derbyshire Police said Aiden Walls walked out of HMP Sudbury at about 07:40 GMT on Thursday.

The 35-year-old was serving a sentence of five years and six months for conspiracy to commit burglary.

He has been described as white, about 5ft 8in tall, of a slim build, with brown fair hair and a scar on his forehead.

Walls has a goatee beard and is known to have links to Derby and Birmingham.

Police urged the public not to approach him, and call the force instead.
