Prisoner escapes while under escort
A prisoner has escaped from Jersey's La Moye jail while on escorted home leave.

Darren McCormack, 24, escaped from his escorting officer on Sunday afternoon.

He is described as being 5 feet 11 inches tall (1.78 metres), with short dark brown hair and a Scottish accent.

He was last seen in the Rouge Bouillon area and was wearing a Burberry jacket and black jeans.

Police say he is not a threat to the public but should not be approached.

This year has so far seen four separate escapes from custody on the island.
