Last updated 14th Feb 2022
Police have launched a manhunt after a dangerous sex offender absconded from North Sea camp prison in Boston.
56-year-old Paul Robson is currently serving a life sentence for attempted rape and indecent assault.
Lincolnshire Police say he is a 'dangerous sex offender' and presents a particular danger to women and young children.
He was given two life sentences in 2000 after breaking into a woman's home through a cat flap and assaulting her.
He was reported missing around 7 o'clock yesterday morning (13th February).
Anyone who sees him is being advised not to approach him but to call 999.
Robson could be 'anywhere in the country'
Detective Chief Superintendent Andy Cox said: “We are still working tirelessly to locate Paul Robson and are still working through numerous lines of enquiry. He could be anywhere in the country, and we are really keen to hear from the public with potential sightings so we can take this man off our streets.
“Robson is a dangerous sex offender and while he presents a particular danger to women and young children, I believe he can cause real harm to anyone he comes across.
“If you see Robson, please do not approach him, and do not try to apprehend him yourself. Call 999 immediately. We are really grateful for all the shares so far and rest assured we will continue our efforts to find and arrest him. Thank you.”
