A MANHUNT remains ongoing after a suspected burglar fled a courtroom during his hearing.
Police are continuing their search for wanted man Jack Tyler after he was arrested in August.
The 28-year-old was charged with burglary and affray, and was remanded in custody to appear before Hove Crown Court on September 8.
However, during the hearing Tyler escaped from court custody and fled from the courtroom.
Police were called to attend, and dozens of officers carried out extensive searches in the vicinity.
At the time of his escape, police were urgently looking for him as he was believed to have suffered a serious ankle injury that required medical attention.
He is 5ft 4in in height, of stocky build with dark, shaved hair.
He was wearing a dark zipped-up jumper, dark jogging bottoms and one blue and white trainer.
He is known to have links to the Hastings area.
Anyone who sees Tyler or has any information as to his whereabouts is asked to dial 999, quoting serial 611 of 08/09.
