Urgent warning issued about ’big Viking stomper’ gangster on the run for 10 days
An infamous gangster known as ‘big Viking Stomper’ has been on the run from the police for 10 days.
Daniel Gee, 44, became notorious after flooding Liverpool’s Grizedale estate with drugs.
He was handed a rare indefinite sentence for public protection in 2010 after he made death threats to a teenager who shot him two years earlier.
Prosecutor Ian Unsworth said Gee’s thirst for vengeance ‘knew no bounds’.
Cleveland Police have been searching for Gee but have so far been unable to find him.
He was reported missing on May 27 after disappearing from category D prison Kirklevington Grange in rural North Yorkshire.
The Ministry of Justice said: ‘All prisoners in Category D prisons are robustly risk-assessed and absconds are rare.
‘Offenders who break the rules are punished and face extra time behind bars and we are working with the police to recapture this prisoner.’
Gee was last seen wearing a black jumper, black Adidas bottoms and black trainers while carrying a yellow JS Sports bag.
He is described as a ‘white male, of large build, around 6ft tall and bald’.
In October 2009 he was found guilty of two cases of threats to kill and blackmail.

He was planning to arm himself after Jamie Starkey, 16, shot him in the stomach and lung – but Gee had refused medical treatment after.
Gee made numerous threats after, but the jury were unable to reach a verdict on conspiracy to murder and possession of firearms.
Judge Henry Globe KC said: ‘I am in no doubt that the public must be protected from you in the future. I really do not know when it will be safe to release you.’
Anyone who may have seen Daniel Gee or may know his current whereabouts is asked to call Cleveland Police on 101, quoting reference number 098852.
