Police have appealed for help to find a man who absconded from an open prison at Christmas.
Thames Valley Police said Mahad Elmi left HMP Spring Hill, at Grendon Underwood, near Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire, overnight on Christmas Day or early on Boxing Day.
The force said the 27-year-old no longer had “any authority or lawful licence to be in the community and is therefore considered unlawfully at large”.
Police described him as 5ft 8ins tall, of medium build with medium-length black hair, a beard and brown eyes. He was known to have links to south west London.
Det Sgt Matthew French, of Buckinghamshire’s Priority Crime Team, said: “If you see Elmi, do not approach him and call 999 instead.”
Anyone with information has been urged to call 101 quoting reference number 43250653119.
