Nov. 6 (UPI) -- One of two prisoners mistakenly released from London's Wandsworth Prison turned himself in Thursday after three days at large, authorities said.
Surrey Police said in a statement that it was canceling its appeal for information to help recapture 35-year-old William Smith because he had returned to His Majesty's Prison Wandsworth in South London of his own volition.
The force was leading the manhunt, rather than London's Met, because of Smith's connections to the county of Surrey, which lies to the south of the capital.
Smith was set free in error on Monday after Croydon Crown Court sentenced him to 45 months in prison for fraud offenses but instead of keeping him in custody, the prison discharged him after a court clerical blunder resulted in the prison being notified he had been given a suspended sentence.
However, the Met was still hunting for 24-year-old Algerian sex offender Ibrahim Kaddour-Cherif, who has been on the run since being released from HMP Wandsworth on Oct. 29.
