    What we need is a hard target search of every gas station, residence, warehouse, farmhouse, outhouse, henhouse and doghouse in the area

    Not the first time he went on the run either...........
    Derek Brockwell (51) had been serving a life sentence for a series of armed robberies, mainly from betting shops in the London area.
    But he was granted day release from Kirkham Prison in Preston, Lancashire, to take part in a work-placement programme in Blackpool.
    But he never showed up for work and has been on the run for the past eight months.
    The day after his escape he became the prime suspect for an attempted robbery at a NatWest bank in Lytham St Annes.

    He was one of Britain's most wanted because he absconded when he was on day release. I doubt he'd have been on day release at all if he was considered one of the most violent criminals in the UK.

    Although obviously he is violent.

    If you had to get stabbed, you'd want to be in a hospital!! Every cloud :P

    In all seriousness, I wish him the best. Not the smartest move from the prisoner, he was in for armed robbery and now he's just added a lot more time to his sentence when he's caught.

    He had a life sentence.

    I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

    It's actually both prison officers who were stabbed :( One in the arm and one in the stomach.

    Sounds like your man had it planned

    ............ six officers.


    Armed robber (22 armed robberies on betting shops and deliberately targeted premises with female cashiers using a 8mm self-loading pistol, and, in two raids, he was alleged to have "pistol-whipped" counter staff with his gun)
    .......... two officers.

    I wonder what he was doing in hospital, was it self inflicted and planned that far in advance. Probably!

    Not too many people walking around with pixelated faces.He should be easy enough to spot.
    Why is his identity being protected?

    Best of luck to him. Is there a site where we can donate to his escape funds?

    I know. That doesn't mean he was ever considered one of Britain's most violent men, though. If he was he wouldn't have been granted unaccompanied day release, would he?

    That child alert system should be used for informing the public about it.

    At that guys age would there not be much better pictures of him like the one they take when a prisoner is first admitted to prison?

    If he's not caught by the morning what's the odds Paul Williams will have written a book about him at that stage.
