Bobby Phipps was released due to "human error"
A man released from Manchester prison by mistake, has been found and re-arrested by police.
Bobby Phipps was let out while facing six charges of attempted murder, and four firearms charges.

His arrest follows the search of a house at Newall Green, Manchester, on Thursday and ends a month-long search.

The 22-year-old has been arrested on suspicion of escaping from lawful custody and is due to be questioned by Greater Manchester Police.

A 24-year-old man was also arrested, on suspicion of assisting an offender.


Mr Phipps was let out of the prison at Strangeways on 15 November, after being held in custody for four days.

A report for the Home Office, produced by the governor of Birmingham prison, found that human error led to Mr Phipps' release.

The report, by Mike Shann, also said there were problems in the prison system which did not pick up the mistake.

The report said Mr Phipps was released due to a clerical error, after his prison status changed.

A member of staff faces disciplinary action.

Mr Phipps faces six counts of attempted murder, two of possessing firearms with intent to endanger life and two counts of possessing a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence.

Yep,

Now lets hope they find this monster:

Tenerife Brit incriminated in child porn swoop

A 19-year-old Englishman,named by the authorities as Nicholas James H., was among four people arrested in the Canary Islands in a nationwide police raid which resulted in the rounding up of ninety people in a total of twenty-six Spanish provinces, all of them involved in a child pornography ring.

The Brit, apprehended in Guía de Isora, in the south of Tenerife, was in possession of six computers and assorted incriminating material at the time of his arrest. Police described the operation as the largest of its kind to have taken place in Spain to date. Hundreds of thousands of images were seized. They were later described by police as “macabre” and “brutal”. They said that a worrying feature of the operation was that they had found that those involved had been using very unsophisticated equipment and simple methods. The old idea of “dirty old men” is becoming a thing of the past. Members of such rings, they added, appeared to be getting younger and younger.
“If their parents had been aware of the images their children were storing on their bedroom computers, I’m quite sure they would have opted to arrest them too,” said a senior police official. And he added: “The fact that among those detained so far are members of the armed forces, office cleaners and garage mechanics, just goes to show that this is a problem that is affecting every level of society, although so far a clear profile tendency has not emerged. All we can say at present is that the immense and overwhelming majority of these people are men.”


British paedophile sought in north Tenerife

A British paedophile is being sought by Tenerife police after Scotland Yard alerted Interpol of their suspicion he could be living – and possibly re-offending - here.

The 41-year-old, who has been identified by the initials D.T., is known to have been living in La Orotava for a number of months. He commutes to Santa Cruz every day where he has a job in a language school.
Before arriving here he lived for a time in the Basque Country, where the police, also alerted by Interpol, tried unsuccessfully to arrest him.
All the indications are that he has once again given the authorities the slip.
British and Spanish police suspect this man has the support of a group of compatriots who tip him off as to the best places in which to lie low, supply him with material resources and the means to conceal his real identity.
