Police are conducting a search for a man who has absconded from an open prison in Lincolnshire. The authorities have advised the public not to approach Aaron Wood, 54, who was reported missing from HMP North Sea Camp in Boston. The police are urging people to inform them immediately by calling 999 if they see Wood, who is believed to still be in the Boston area but may have connections in the Grimsby area.
