Mark Chung, a 31 year old prisoner has escaped from Ranby prison in Nottinghamshire by hiding in the back of a skip.
Chung, who is serving a seven year sentence for drug dealing was seen jumping from a skip after it was removed from the prison in the early hours of Wednesday 7th September 2006.
The driver of the skip truck watched helplessly as Chung hurtled out of the container as the vehicle pulled into an industrial estate on Sandy Lane in Worksop.
Police instantly released a photo of the convict and he is described as a white man, 5ft 9 inches tall, of medium build, with a shaved head. He is also believed to be wearing forest green trousers and a t-shirt.
Chung is thought to be very dangerous and the people have been warned not to approach him under any circumstances.
Detective Inspector Dave Sinclair of Nottinghamshire police informed a worried public that, “Chung is probably extremely dirty and may look dishevelled and wet due to hiding in the waste lorry. Anybody who sees a man fitting his description is asked to contact us immediately.”
At The Skip we are now adding convicts to the long line of things we dislike finding in skips (see also dead badgers, asbestos, fridges, rubber tyres, stun grenades and missiles!)
