Police have released a new CCTV image of a dangerous sex offender in Leeds who has absconded from a secure facility.

58-year-old Malcolm Millman, absconded during a day visit to a monastery in St Margarets, Great Gaddesden, at about 2pm on Saturday 24 October.

He failed to return to Chadwick Lodge, a secure facility in Milton Keynes, whose care he was under.

Mr Millman was last seen at Manchester Airport railway station on Monday 26 October at around 12.30pm.

This CCTV image is from Leeds railway station the day before, on Sunday 25 October.

Police would like to speak to anyone who may have seen Mr Millman in Leeds or elsewhere.

Police do not believe Mr Millman has access to a passport and therefore is still in the country.

Mr Millman was convicted of rape in 1996 and poses a risk specifically to women and girls.

He could be violent and he has previously threatened his victims with a weapon.

If sighted, members of the public should not approach him but should call 999 immediately.

Police are also appealing for health workers to report any potential sightings of Mr Millman as he will now urgently need medication for existing medical conditions including heart disease and diabetes so it is likely that he will need to visit a GP surgery, chemist or emergency department to obtain this.

We need the public to let us know if they see anyone matching Mr Millman’s description, particularly NHS staff or other health workers who may come into contact with Mr Millman as he tries to obtain the medication that he needs. Please be vigilant in hospitals, surgeries and pharmacies, and help to spread the wanted appeal with posters and leaflets in your waiting rooms and staff rooms. If you see Mr Millman, do not approach him and call 999 immediately. Mr Millman is a dangerous sex offender who has a number of previous convictions including for rape. In some of those cases he used a weapon in his attack. Any piece of information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, could be vital to tracing Mr Millman, and ensuring this dangerous sex offender is no longer on the streets posing a threat to the public.
