A SERIAL burglar on the run from prison is still at large after vanishing two weeks ago.
Martin McDonagh, who is serving a sentence for burglary at HMP Springhill, was last seen at the prison on August 9.
Police say they are investigating several calls about the 5ft 7ins stocky convict, who has strong links to Oxford.
He has some visible tattoos, including the name Louise on his neck along with an image of a scorpion and the name Teresa on his left wrist.
People are being warned not to approach McDonagh if they see him and to call 999 instead.
Anyone with information about his whereabouts is being urged to call police on 101 quoting reference number 731.
Investigating officer Detective Sergeant Glen Turner said: “McDonagh has links to Oxford, so we would ask residents to be vigilant and look out for him in the city.
“He is serving a prison sentence for a burglary offence after he was convicted last year.”
