An Albanian national has absconded from an immigration removal centre, the Home Office has confirmed.

The 19-year-old escaped on 14 July, during a hospital transfer from the Oxfordshire immigration removal centre.

The individual is not thought to be a risk to the public.

In a statement, a Home Office spokesperson said: "We can confirm that a detained person absconded while under escort from Campsfield Immigration Removal Centre on 14 July 2026.

"We have robust measures to track down and detain absconders. It would not be appropriate to comment further during a live investigation."
