Initially unbeknownst to the many Healers and Aurors stationed on St.Mungo's fourth floor late last night, a criminal was in in their midst.

The DMLE suspects felon Michael Dark to have taken the identity of a Healer in order to assist in the escape of the hospital's most recent patient from Azkaban: child murderer Arthur Lemon. His disappearance from the designated ward was only detected as the pair were leaving through the building's back entrance.

Dark allegedly revealed his identity following a short scuffle between the wizards and those staff members attempting to prevent their escape. Lemon's whereabouts are presently unknown although Aurors have been posted to the family's farmland residence in Oxfordshire. The Almasys could not be reached for comment.

"Public safety is our first priority," a spokesperson for the department states. "We expect full public cooperation in this matter."

Please contact the DMLE with any relevant information.
