DARYL TAYLOR ESCAPES FROM IPSWICH HOSPITAL WHILE ON THE RUN FOR CHILD SEX OFFENCES

A significant manhunt is currently underway to locate Daryl Taylor, a 33-year-old man wanted in connection with multiple serious allegations involving minors. The incident occurred at Ipswich Hospital, where Taylor was being treated under police escort. During his hospital stay, Taylor managed to escape custody, prompting immediate and coordinated efforts by Suffolk Police to apprehend him.

On the night of Sunday, August 11, 2024, Taylor was brought to Ipswich Hospital for medical treatment. It was during this time that he took advantage of a lapse in security and successfully fled the hospital premises around 10:00 PM. The escape has raised alarm among local authorities and the community alike, leading to a swift response from law enforcement agencies who are now actively searching for him.

Authorities have issued a clear warning to the public, emphasizing that Taylor is considered dangerous and should not be approached under any circumstances. He is described as a white male, approximately 5 feet 9 inches tall, with a stocky build. He has short brown hair, a beard, and several distinctive tattoos covering his face, neck, arms, and legs, which are key identifiers for those who may see him.

In connection with the escape, four individuals have been detained on suspicion of assisting Taylor in his attempt to evade capture. These individuals are currently in custody and are being questioned by police as part of the ongoing investigation.

Crimestoppers has announced a reward of up to £5,000 for any information that leads to Taylor’s arrest. Law enforcement officials have expressed that their primary concern is to locate him quickly, as they believe his main motivation for fleeing is to avoid being re-captured rather than to commit additional crimes.

It is important to note that Taylor was previously sentenced to three years in prison on July 27, 2023, for a series of offences including assault and attempting to pervert the course of justice. His history and the nature of his charges have heightened the urgency of his capture.

Police have reassured the community that apprehending Taylor remains a top priority, and they are actively working to bring him into custody to ensure public safety and justice.
