A CONVICTED robber has absconded from Hollesley Bay prison.

He is described as white, 6ft 1in tall, of medium build, with brown hair, a fair complexion, brown eyes and has tattoos on his forearm, back and shoulders.

Richardson is known to have connections in the Slough area of Berkshire and local police have been in touch with Thames Valley officers as part of their enquiries.
