A prisoner who has absconded from jail in Derbyshire could be in the Black Country.
Hashim Ajmal left HMP Sudbury, an open prison, on Tuesday.

"Ajmal has connections to the Dudley and Cradley Heath areas."
A West Midlands Police spokesman added: "Can you help Derbyshire Constabulary find Hashim Ajmal? He has links to the West Midlands and so may be in the area somewhere."
