A prisoner who failed to return to an open jail after a spell of home leave is being sought by police.
Dennis Adams, 29, was expected back yesterday at HMP Castle Huntly, near Dundee, but did not appear.
Adams, jailed for six years in February 2009 for assault to severe injury and robbery, had been granted temporary release to his home town of Aberdeen. He was transferred to the open estate in October.
Officers at Tayside Police are appealing for information to help trace the absconder.
He is described as being 6ft with brown hair and blue eyes.
He has tattoos on both arms, a series of numbers on his left arm and what police describe as a "Nirvana face" on his right arm.
Anyone who has seen Adams or who knows where he is being asked to call Tayside Police on 101.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
