AS ESCAPE PLANS go, it is remarkably unsophisticated, but Haroon Ahmed is on the run after strolling out the front door of an English prison.
Derby-born Haroon escaped from HMP Dovegate in Staffordshire, at around 4.15pm on Wednesday, where he is serving a sentence for robbery.
It has been reported that he walked out among a group of people who had come to visit him.
He is described as Asian, 6ft tall with a thin build and short black hair in a crew cut. He was wearing jeans and a grey t-shirt but police say it’s likely he has changed his clothing.
Officers involved in the search for him arrested his brother, Majeed Ahmed and have charged him with assisting a prisoner in escaping from prison.
A black Volkswagen Golf was also recovered as part of the investigation and has been subject to a detailed forensic examination.
The public are being urged not to approach Ahmed if they see him, due to the violent nature of his conviction.

Does that mean the help desk will stop ringing me?
Probably, I’m waiting for the whinge brigade to blame the government for all the job losses……
Windows Vista and Windows 8..need i say more?
You could say something more relevant. Nokia.
Please don’t.
IF it does affect any Irish workforce, let the government know mid September, ya know, when they’re back at work.
Oh and windows 8, something something..
So much for the ‘Knowledge Economy”…
Ah yes, it’s FG/Labour fault a multi national company purchases another company and decides to slim down….. never let the facts stand in the way of a good whinge….
Microsoft is so last Monday..
Microsoft are pure pants.
They bought Nokia for the expertise and IP it has. Now they’re just basically jettisoning the staff that came as part of the deal.
Or maybe making room for the staff of Nokia?
127,000 employees? That’s some wage bill every week. The mind boggles ..
Microsoft has had its day. With their over-complex installation systems, constant failing updates, virus’s and clunkiness. Give me apple over it any day!! Hate them!
They can’t help it if some people are too stupid to use their software.
What does this have to do with Windows? MS have been in the mobile market for a long time. If anyone can get Nokia competing well with Samsung or Apple it’s them
Apple…. Future rulers of Earth if sheep like you do not wake up.
Any computer is capable of breaking if people don’t know how to look after it. Windows inherently isn’t faulty. Its the build of it thats shat out as an OEM version. I bought Windows From Microsoft to run on my a mac side by side. that computer does everything and windows runs perfectly without a peep as does mac os. If you know what your doing most things work and stay working.
Watch this space…everyone will be raving about Microsoft(Nokia) smartphones in circum 12 months
What a shame to see such a large population of soon to be unemployed peoples. While the standard line people trolley out is that big multinational corporations create jobs, which is truthful to the certain extent, the mergers and acquisitions side of big business tends to do the opposite.
have your say
