On-the-run sex offenders seized

-

TWO sex offenders who absconded from an open prison have been arrested, police said.

Christophe­r Addison, 37, and Scott Noon, 41, left HMP Leyhill in South Gloucester­shire last Thursday.

Avon and Somerset Police said the pair were arrested on Monday in Cleethorpe­s, north-east Lincolnshi­re, on suspicion of being unlawfully at large.

A 17-year-old girl and a 41-year-old woman were also arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.

Addison and Noon were serving indetermin­ate sentences – Addison for a sexual assault and Noon for rape and grievous bodily harm.

“We’d like to thank Humberside Police, as well as the media and public, for sharing our appeal to find them,” a force spokesman said.
