Rhys Allen was serving an eight-year sentence when he fled from jail
A prison inmate escaped by scaling a fence before being found hiding near to a bakery more than two weeks later. Rhys Allen was said to have walked out of jail then travelled 75 miles across the country to Merseyside, where he was ultimately apprehended, after becoming 'frustrated by the progress of his application for parole'.
footage subsequently revealed that he had absconded from the category D jail roughly an hour earlier by climbing over a fence. Then, 16 days later on the afternoon of November 5, police on patrol on West Derby Road pulled over a Ford Fiesta in which the fugitive was being carried as a passenger. Allen however fled from the vehicle, leading to a foot chase with officers. But he was arrested after members of the public 'pointed out where he was hiding, near to Townsend bakery' in Anfield .
