Police are hunting an "extremely dangerous" sex offender who escaped from prison at the weekend.

Paul Robson, 56, absconded from HMP North Sea Camp in Boston, Lincolnshire, and was reported missing just before 7am on Sunday, 13 February.

Lincolnshire Police launched a hunt for the convicted criminal, urging members of the public to dial 999 with any sightings.

Robson has a string of convictions for sex offences against women and girls dating back to the 1980s.

He is currently serving a life sentence for attempted rape and indecent assault after breaking into a woman's Oxford home through a cat flap while on licence from another jail term and subjecting his 23-year-old victim to a series of attacks.

Lincolnshire Police described the 56-year-old as a "dangerous sex offender" and said while he presents a particular danger to women and young children, he could cause "real harm" to anyone he comes across.

Robson is described as white with a bald head, long goatee beard and is of a slim build.

Detective Chief Superintendent Andy Cox, from Lincolnshire Police, said: "We are still working tirelessly to locate Paul Robson and are still working through numerous lines of enquiry.

"He could be anywhere in the country, and we are really keen to hear from the public with potential sightings so we can take this man off our streets.

"Robson is a dangerous sex offender and while he presents a particular danger to women and young children, I believe he can cause real harm to anyone he comes across.

"If you see Robson, please do not approach him, and do not try to apprehend him yourself. Call 999 immediately."

Earlier, Det Ch Supt Cox said: "This man is a convicted rapist, serving a life sentence and is extremely dangerous."

He said the force was grateful for people sharing information on Robson and it would continue efforts to find and arrest him.
