Police have warned the public not to approach a fugitive prisoner who disappeared on day release.

Lee Cyrus, 47, also known as Ivan Leach, failed to return to North Sea Camp open prison in Boston, Lincolnshire, on Tuesday October 9. He is currently serving a life sentence for robbery.

He is white, around 5ft 11in and stocky, with cropped hair and brown eyes.

A police spokesman said: "We believe that Cyrus has been and could possibly still be in the Tayside area. We would ask members of the public to be vigilant and not to approach him but report any sightings to the police.

"Any information members of the public can provide could be crucial to apprehending this man."
