FIVE convicts have absconded from a prison in three months.
Police are searching for Eduardo Cantalupo, who is the latest prisoner to go missing from Ford Prison, near Arundel.
It is understood the 23-year-old left the site at about 1pm on Thursday, while serving a five-and-a-half year sentence for drug offences.
Cantalupo is 5ft 10in tall and of a slim build, with scruffy dark hair.
He was last seen wearing grey trousers and a grey top.
Police say he has links to London and may have returned to the capital.
Anyone who sees Cantalupo is advised not to approach him, but to call police on 101, quoting reference 1286 of 17/12.
It comes after four other convicts absconded from Ford Prison in the past three months.
Jay Davis, who was serving a sentence for possession of a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence, left the site on October 12.
He was arrested by armed police at a campsite in Telscombe on October 24.
Dominic Van Allen, who was serving a five-year jail sentence for unlawful possession of a firearm, went missing from the prison on October 15.
This was followed by Clayton McCalman on Nov 2 and Simon Deacon on November 19.
