AN IMMEDIATE review has been commissioned after a man escaped from a prison vehicle.

Kyle Darren Eglington fled from a court prison transport vehicle on Saturday morning and has been missing since.

And the Ministry of Justice said it has commissioned an immediate review with the Prisoner Escort and Custody Services (PECS) to ascertain how it happened.

A spokesperson said: “Escapes from custody are extremely rare and we are urgently investigating this incident.”

The spokesperson also urged people to dial 999 immediately if they see the 32-year-old.

On Monday, a spokesperson for Dorset Police said the prisoner remained “outstanding” and there were no updates to give.

Eglington made off from the prison vehicle in Hardy Road in the Parkstone area at on Saturday morning.

The incident was reported to police at 11.12am. He had also reportedly assaulted one of the security officers.

Officers searched the area along with the NPAS helicopter and the British Transport Police but were unable to locate him.

Eglington had been remanded in custody after being charged with an offence of robbery relating to an incident in Verney Close in Bournemouth on Thursday 24 March 2022 and had appeared at Poole Magistrates’ Court on Friday 25 March 2022.

In the early hours on Sunday, enquiries revealed he may have been in the West Howe area but he remained at large.

He is described as white, five feet eleven inches tall and of medium build, with dark brown hair and a beard.

Police said the prisoner may have shaved his head and beard since he absconded.

Chief Inspector Neil Wright, of Dorset Police, said: “I would like to reassure members of the public that we have a number of officers carrying out searches and other enquiries in a bid to locate Kyle Eglington as soon as possible and return him to lawful custody.

“We believe that he may have changed his appearance significantly and will therefore look different to the latest image we have for him.

“I would urge anyone who sees Kyle, or a man matching the description given, to please report it to us. There is nothing at this time to suggest he poses a risk to the general public, however, we would urge people not to approach him and to please dial 999 immediately.”
