Detectives investigating the escape from lawful custody of Shaun Colin Walmsley in February are continuing to appeal to members of the public who may have any information which could help them with their enquiries.



Walmsley turns 29 today and detectives are asking anyone who has any information on his current whereabouts to get in touch.

Officers have been working with police forces across the UK and abroad to locate Walmsley, who escaped from the custody of prison officers outside Aintree University Hospital on Tuesday, 21 February.

Detective Superintendent Natalie Perischine said: "There has been a lot of publicity around the escape and people may not think what they know is useful, but any images, footage or information could be exceptionally valuable.

"I want to reemphasise that having any association with Walmsley, criminal or otherwise, will be bring police to your door, as it has already for many of his associates in the past few months.

"I would urge people to take another look at Walmsley's photograph in case they see someone fitting his description either in Liverpool or further afield. There is currently a reward of £20,000 on offer for information leading to the apprehension of Walmsley and his return to prison."

Officers are reminding the public not to approach Walmsley if they see him, as he is could be in the company of others who helped him escape and they are believed to be armed. Walmsley himself is also described as dangerous.

Officers would ask anyone who may come into contact with Walmsley to contact the police on 999. Anyone who may have information which could help with the investigation is asked to contact Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
