POLICE are looking for a prisoner believed to have links to Carlisle, after he absconded from a jail in North Yorkshire last month. 

Cleveland Police have released CCTV footage of 44-year-old Daniel Gee, who absconded from Kirklevington Prison on Monday, May 27.

The footage shows him walking towards James Cook Train Station from the direction of James Cook University Hospital car park at 11:50am on Tuesday 28th May. It is believed that he boarded a train to Middlesbrough.

Cleveland police said: "In the footage, he can be seen wearing a pale blue t-shirt, black Adidas tracksuit bottoms with white stripes down both legs and a beige hat.

"He was carrying a white JD bag, and is likely to have been carrying a black hoody inside of the bag which he may have been wearing in earlier sightings. When he boarded the train to Middlesbrough, he was wearing a blue hooded raincoat.

"He is described as around 6ft tall, large build and bald.

"Gee is believed to have links to Carlisle, St Helens and Merseyside."
