Missing Langho personality disorder patient found
1:20pm Monday 28th April 2008
By David Watkinson »
A CROSS-dressing man who escaped a low-security hospital has been found after a four-day search.
Stephen Hibbs, 54, disappeared from accommodation at Kemple View Hospital, Langho, on Thursday evening.
Police said that Mr Hibbs suffers from a personality disorder which may result in him possibly wearing female clothing.
He was found in Blackpool at the weekend but police would not confirm if he was wearing women's clothes.
The public were advised not to approach Mr Hibbs if they spotted him but police said that the longer he remained away from care, or if he drank alcohol, the more vulnerable he becomes and the risk to both himself and the public increases.
He described as 5ft 4ins, small in stature and he shuffles when he walks.
