Detective Superintendent Richard Tompkins stated that the police “are becoming more anxious.”
Johnny is serving a hospital order for convictions related to arson and violent assault. Therefore it is imperative that members of the public do not approach him under any circumstances and instead dial 999,” he said.
We are investigating three separate cases of arson involving garbage bags that occurred overnight in regions within a few miles of the hospital grounds. And may be related to Johnny.
Arson can have fatal repercussions; thus, we advise the public to be especially attentive in their local neighborhoods.
Please phone 999 immediately if you observe somebody acting suspiciously near the property. Or purposefully setting fire to items such as trash cans.
