Wanted man

Joshua Scott Credit: North Yorkshire Police

A man from Scarborough is wanted to be taken back to prison for breaching the conditions of his release licence.

19-year-old Joshua Stephen Scott was jailed in May 2011 for two years and four months for assault.

Inspector Tony Quinn, of Scarborough Safer Neighbourhood Team, said:

"It is important that people who are released from prison on licence comply with the conditions imposed on them so that everyone can have the confidence that justice has been done.

I urge anyone who can help to trace Joshua Scott to contact the police straight away."

Man absconds from prison

An investigation has started after a robbery in Scunthorpe and police are trying to trace a man who has absconded from prison.

It happened on 21 May when a man entered the Post Office on East Common Lane and stole some cash from inside.

Two members of staff were injured and it's thought the suspect lashed out at the weapon when they tried to stop him taking the cash. The two workers, a man and woman, both in their 60s, have been treated in hospital.

Detectives want to speak to 40-year-old Eithan Teanby, who was on weekend release from HMP North Sea Camp in Boston. He failed to return to the prison on the evening of Monday 21 May. He was last seen travelling from Scunthorpe to Brigg in a taxi, but has not been seen since.

Two members of staff suffered serious injuries when they tried to stop the suspect from stealing a quantity of cash so it is important that we arrest the person responsible for this incident in order to prevent them from carrying out any further robberies.

I would urge the public not to approach Mr Teanby as he may present a threat while trying to avoid returning to prison so my plea to the public is a simple one, if you see Mr Teanby or know of his current whereabouts please call police right away.
