Police searching for man who breached prison licence

Police are working to locate 55 year old Thomas McCabe, who is currently unlawfully at large.

It is thought he has connections to the Newry area as well as Newtownabbey and Dublin.

Detective Constable William Arnott said: “McCabe, who was sentenced to life for murder, was released from prison on licence, however following a number of breaches his licence was revoked in January 2018.

“He is described as around 5' 8" tall, of medium build with short grey coloured hair.

"I would appeal to anyone who has seen Thomas McCabe, or who knows of his whereabouts to contact us on 101.

“I would also appeal directly to him directly to hand himself in.”

Alternatively, information can also be provided to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 which is 100% anonymous.
