Stephen Grzyb, 22, escaped police custody outside Liverpool Magistrates Court on Saturday morning, shortly after 10am, while facing a domestic burglary charge. He was last seen on Red Cross Street heading toward The Strand in the city centre. Merseyside Police's Inspector Bethan Hannon asked the public to call 999 with sightings, warning that helping Grzyb evade capture would bring officers to their door.
