A manhunt is underway in Perth after convicted sex offender Clifford Lyons, also known as Cliff Lyons Dobbie and “Dobbie,” escapes from an escort while on community leave in the city centre. Two outlets report that Lyons is being sought after he escapes staff during the period when he is required to be accompanied as part of his release conditions.
Both accounts say police and relevant authorities have issued warnings to the public not to approach him. The reporting indicates Lyons left the custody of escort staff while in Perth, prompting an immediate search effort.
The reports do not provide additional confirmed details about how he escaped or his current whereabouts. The name variation cited in the articles suggests public awareness campaigns may be using multiple aliases while the search continues.
