A man who absconded from an open prison in Suffolk is back behind bars after officers caught up with him in Littleport, Cambridge.

Timothy Stone-Parker, 25, failed to show up for evening roll call at HMP Hollesley Bay, Suffolk, on 5 August.

Police began searching for him but he evaded them until he was discovered by officers in Cambridgeshire at an address in Littleport on 28 April this year.

He was returned to prison to serve the rest of his six-and-a-half-year sentence for burglary.

Stone-Parker, of HMP Hollesley Bay, Suffolk, pleaded guilty to escaping lawful custody at Cambridge Crown Court on Thursday (27 May) and was sentenced to eight months in prison.

Detective Constable Henry Longhurst, who investigated, said:

"Stone-Parker's escape act has landed him back behind bars for even longer.

"I hope this shows we will not give up until we catch our criminals and put them back where they belong."
