A police hunt is under way after a man absconded from an open prison in Lincolnshire.
Officers urged the public not to approach Aaron Wood, 54, who is on the run from HMP North Sea Camp in Boston.
He was reported missing from the jail shortly before 08:00 BST on Monday, Lincolnshire Police said.
People have been asked to call 999 if they spot Wood, who is believed to still be in the Boston area but may have connections in the Grimsby area.
He is described as about 5ft 8ins (1.73m) tall, of medium build with brown hair and blue eyes. He has a distinctive scar on his forehead and a tattoo with the words AC/DC on his right forearm.
Police did not provide details of Wood's offending or sentence.
