Lincolnshire Echo: Two Escape from Morton Hall

TWO failed asylum seekers are on the run after escaping from a detention centre near Lincoln.

Algerian-born Fehrez Belkadi, 33, and Egyptian citizen Waie Elbayoumi, 30, escaped from the Morton Hall Immigration Removal Centre in Swinderby.

It is believed the pair climbed the perimeter fence at about 6pm on Thursday.

Lincolnshire Police have conducted an extensive area search and have carried out local inquiries, but are yet to find the two escapees.
