Detectives are working to find a man who has escaped from custody at HMP Wormwood Scrubs after he was taken to hospital.
Graham Gomm, 63, was taken to Hammersmith Hospital by prison staff yesterday after being taken unwell. He had been on remand for burglary offences.
Police were alerted at around 1:18 a.m. on Thursday, July 18, that Gomm had escaped. He was last seen wearing a grey T-shirt and grey tracksuit.
Officers are carrying out searches, working closely with partners, conducting CCTV enquiries and have visited a number of addresses linked to Gomm.
Detectives are also concerned for Gomm’s welfare as he was undergoing medical care before he escaped. There is nothing to suggest that Gomm is a threat to the public.
