A BARNET man who had been on the run since absconding from an open prison in Derbyshire has been caught.

Jodie Rouse, 29, who was serving a ten year sentence, went on the run after walking out of HMP Sudbury in September.

But he was caught by Flying Squad officers on Monday in Notting Hill and has now been returned to prison custody.

He had been jailed in 2007 for robbery, possession of a firearm and violent disorder and failing to surrender to police.
