Police appeal for prisoner on the run

Date published: 18 June 2010


Police are appealing to find a Rochdale prisoner who absconded from custody.

David Patmore, 26, was granted a day release by HMP Sudbury on 1 April 2010, and was allowed to visit a house in Stretford, but failed to reappear.

He is also believed to have vital information about a burglary at a house in Rochdale on 21 April 2010.

Just after 12am, a house on Hendon Grove, Heywood, was broken into and the keys of a Six-Series BMW were taken, and the car was then stolen.

Patmore was serving a 16-year sentence after being jailed in 2004 for armed robbery.

He has numerous connections in Greater Manchester, in particular the Middleton and Blackley areas.

Patmore is not to be approached and anyone with information should call police on 0161 856 8427 or call the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
