SEVEN days after a break-out at Campsfield House three runaways remain on the loose.

Police and the Home Office are today continuing the hunt for Abdesalam Tarik Ben, Abdelhak Morid and Mohammed Aref Hosseini.

The three were among seven who fled the detention centre, near Kidlington, in the early hours of Thursday June 19.

Three of the escapees were captured within a mile of the detention centre while a fourth was picked up near the Oxford Botanic Garden.

A spokesman for the UK Border Agency said: "Public protection remains our number one priority. The UK Border Agency is considering the lessons that can be learnt from the recent incident at Campsfield House and we will continue to liaise with police to locate those missing detainees."

Police said the runaways are not believed to be dangerous but should not approached.
