Saturday, April 27, 2024

We are looking for Shaun Paul Smith after he absconded during a visit to Preston from a secure unit on Thursday (April 25).

60-year-old Smith, who also goes by the name Aemon Martin, was last seen near the toilets on the ground floor of the Fishergate shopping centre in Preston at about 1pm.

He is white, grey hair, slim build, beard and moustache.

He was last seen wearing a hat, cream jeans, grey/red t-shirt, grey cardigan, black coat, black trainers and a backpack. Carrying a large TK Maxx bag, as show in the below CCTV stills. We appreciate that they aren't the best quality - but we're hoping someone will recognise him.

Smith has links to East Lancashire, including Rossendale and Blackburn, as well as Preston and Bamber Bridge.

If you see him, please do not approach him but call 999 quoting log 0689 of April 25th

Please also get in touch if you have any information about where he could be.
