Police are appealing again for help to find one of two convicts who absconded from a Derbyshire prison earlier this month.

Rory Allen left HMP Sudbury, an open prison, on Saturday 5 December with two other convicts.

One, a killer convicted of manslaughter, has since been found. But Allen and one other man - Daniel Gerald Ferris, a 30-year-old convicted robber - are still at large.

Allen, 33, was convicted in 2018 for being concerned in the supply of cocaine and heroin.
