A man who escaped from a South Yorkshire prison has been arrested after almost two weeks on the run.

Ricky-Lee Langford absconded from HMP Hatfield, an open prison near Doncaster, on December 30.

The 30-year-old, who is originally from Maltby, was serving a seven-year sentence in relation to two robberies in 2011.

South Yorkshire Police today thanked the public for their help in sharing appeals for information on his whereabouts.
