Police appeal after ‘dangerous’ convicted rapist failed to return to open prison near Boston

Police are appealing for information after a convicted rapist failed to return to an open prison.

Neil Trennan, 60, is an inmate at North Sea Camp at Freiston, near Boston.

This afternoon (July 10), he failed to return to his meeting place after being released on temporary licence.

Officers believe Trennan caught a Nottingham-bound train from Boston Train Station around 10.49am.

“There are a number of stops or directions he could have taken having boarded the train,” a Lincolnshire Police statement said.

“The image we have shared was taken this morning. He was wearing a black T-shirt and grey bottoms; It is unknown if he will have changed his clothing.”

Detective Inspector Dave Penney of Lincolnshire Police, said: "Trennan is a dangerous individual; we need to find him as soon as possible.

“He is a convicted rapist and may pose a real danger to members of the public.

"Our investigations have been ongoing, they are not contained just to Lincolnshire and we are doing everything we can to locate him.

“Our release needed to be delayed while we made some of those inquiries.

"If you have seen Trennan please call us on 101. If you know where he is call 999. Do not approach him please call the police. We really do need the public's help in locating him and returning him to prison."

Anyone with any information is asked to contact 101 or 999 if they know where Trennan is.
