Police seeking a wanted man from Harrogate today re-issued a plea for help finding him.
North Yorkshire Police is still searching for Bailey George Samuel Townend, 21, who has been recalled to prison and is believed to be evading arrest locally.
He was released from prison on licence on November 1 last year after being handed a 51-week custodial sentence for burglary and theft.
The Probation Service reported that Townend failed to reside at approved accommodation in Leeds, thereby breaching his licence.
Today’s police statement said:
“Police enquiries are ongoing in the Harrogate and Leeds areas in the effort to return Townend to prison.
“Townend is described as white, 5ft 8in tall, slim build, with short brown hair and green eyes.
If you can help us track him down, please report information to North Yorkshire Police on 101, option 4, and speak to the force control room.
“For immediate sightings, dial 999 to ensure a rapid response.”
Information can also be provided to Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or online. Quote reference number.
