Danger men who are now back on the streets
GUN-TOTING ROBBER
Adam Walsh is a robber considered so dangerous he was given an ‘indeterminate sentence for public protection’ – allowing him to be kept inside indefinitely if considered a danger to the world outside.
The 26-year-old was living in Blackburn until he was locked up for robbery and firearms offences in 2007. Despite the danger he represents, he simply strolled out of lowsecurity Sudbury open prison in Derbyshire in July last year, and has not been seen since. Eight prisoners escaped from the same jail in two months.
VIOLENT THUG
Michael Collinson received a tough-sounding sentence of six years and eight months for wounding with intent – but after just over two years he decided he fancied walking free instead. He has not been traced by officers.
COCAINE SMUGGLER
Martin Williams was jailed for eight years for supplying cocaine and a conspiracy to import more drugs from Jamaica. He and fellow gang members were caught when US agents discovered three packages of the class-A drug worth £135,000 on their way to addresses close to Williams’s home in Bristol. A desperate heroin addict was among those persuaded to receive the packages. Williams, now 38, received the longest sentence of the five people imprisoned nine years ago. He served only 18 months inside before escaping.
HEROIN TRAFFICKER
Ahmet Ortanallama was the mastermind of a massive heroin-trafficking ring that brought some £3.3million of the deadly drug into Britain. Working with criminals in Amsterdam and across Britain from his West London base, he ferried 20kg of heroin into the port of Felixstowe in Suffolk.
The 56-year-old was jailed for 19 years, the highest sentence of any of the gang locked up after their trial in 1995. He had completed little more than half his sentence when he escaped.
MASTER FORGER
Ismail Hasko was the kingpin of a sophisticated identity fraud operation and turned his North London house into a ‘factory’ that churned out bogus documents. His gang made 2,000 counterfeit passports, national insurance cards and other identity papers.
The 28-year-old was jailed for six years in 2009 but had served just nine months inside when he absconded.
