British police were undertaking two more searches on Wednesday, following the news that two prisoners had been mistakenly released from prison over the past week, just days after the government brought in more stringent checks.
Police said the two were wrongly freed from Wandsworth Prison in southwest London and which last year was put into special measures after another prisoner escaped by clinging to the underside of a food delivery truck.
London’s Metropolitan Police said Brahim Kaddour-Cherif, 24, was wrongly freed on 29 October while Surrey Police said it is hunting for William Smith, 35, who was also accidentally released on Monday.
