Police on the Isle of Wight are attempting to locate a missing 39-year-old man.
Darren Prouten was reported missing yesterday morning (8 September) and police believe he may be in the Ryde area.
Prouten, of no fixed abode, is known to currently have an outstanding warrant for his arrest against him for offences of driving whilst disqualified and driving without insurance.
He was due to appear at the Isle of Wight Magistrates Court on Friday 3rd September but failed to appear.
Efforts to locate him so far have been unsuccessful and officers are asking the public for their assistance as we need to check on his welfare.
Darren is described as:
- White
- Approximately 5ft 6ins tall
- Dark brown hair
- Hazel-coloured eyes
- Police believe he may have visible injuries to his face
If you have seen him, or know where he is, call 101 quoting 44210360751. Dial 999 in the event of an emergency.
He is not MISSING ,he is on the run!
Well maybe,but he could have mental health issues or I don’t think the police would be saying they are concerned for his welfare.
Yeah they would! They sneaky as! Would trust one as far as I could throw them!
Just a polite warning to others that another KNOWN loon is likely to maim some innocent.
This bloke is not particularly nice at all he would sell his own granny after he stole her
they are not “concerned for his welfare” – they are concerned at the fact that a s cumbag with the most prolific history of criminal offences on the island has not shown up in court for his latest set of charges.
and to think a judge actually sent him on a thinking course once as part of a punishment – pah
Well, I’ve got no time for people who are just scum, but I guess we don’t know what he might have been through in his life, or while growing up that made him like he is. Does anyone even know? I’m not defending him, I just wonder what might have happened to him to make him turn out like this? If anything did, some people don’t have much to contend with but still turn out bad, but some have suffered a lot in some way and it does something to them. I like to think there is always hope for someone to turn their life around and it can’t be much fun to be always getting into trouble. But I don’t know, just speculating.
Not that hard to go on the run these days. No police as the government refuse to spend our tax money on us and instead give to their mates and other countries. 50% less police than 5 years ago.
39 years old and no fixed abode, what kind of life has this man been living.
We all have a story about our decisions in life and mistakes we’ve made, but what makes some of us behave in a way that we don’t want to try to improve our life after making so many mistakes…
Just put his name into Google and you will see what a thieving scum bag he is! While most people at the age of 39 have achieved something in their lives, be it a career or raised a family this sad muppet sleeps on a sofa and steals from others
