Another Inmate Flees Troubled HMP Sudbury
HMP Sudbury is back in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. Just days after Raymond McMahon vanished without a trace, another inmate, Andrew Bowering, has made a daring escape. The 30-year-old, serving nine years for aggravated burglary, walked out of the open prison on September 10. Authorities are now scrambling and pleading for public help to track him down.
Who is Andrew Bowering?
Bowering is described as white, 5ft 4ins tall, with a medium build and blonde hair. When he escaped, he was spotted wearing glasses, grey joggers, a dark blue jacket with light blue sleeves, and white trainers. His disappearance adds fuel to the fire over HMP Sudbury’s poor security record.
