‘Dangerous’ criminal accidentally released from prison the day he arrived An ‘extremely dangerous’ criminal was mistakenly released from prison the day he arrived.
But now he is on the run after a ‘processing error’ caused by his multiple warrants saw him mistakenly released the day he arrived at Midlands Prison in Co Laois, Ireland, the Irish Independent reports.
Police are understood to be surveilling properties linked to the burglary gang member in Co Carlow and in a rural area near Tallaght, Dublin.
Asked for comment on the manhunt, a police spokesperson told Metro: ‘The custody and management of those serving sentences is a matter for the Irish Prison Service.’.
Linked to one of Ireland’s largest burglary gangs, which has stolen millions of euro, the fugitive was mentored by a mob boss called ‘Fat’ Andy Connors.
