POLICE are hunting a convicted drugs dealer who is on the run from a Suffolk prison.
Francis Mills, 33, went missing from Hollesley Bay, near Woodbridge, earlier today.
He was serving a three years and eight months sentence for supplying drugs.
Initial enquiries show he made his way to Ipswich Railway Station around 7am but at this stage it is not known whether he remains in the area or whether he got onto a train.

He has an American accent and at the time he left the prison also had a beard.
He has contacts in the Woodbridge and Ipswich area.
If anyone sees Mills they should phone police immediately and not approach him or take any further action.
