A Harrogate man is wanted on recall to prison, North Yorkshire Police has said.

A statement from the force today (March 17) said extensive enquiries were ongoing to locate 28-year-old William Rutherford.

We believe that Rutherford could be in the Harrogate area, but he also has links to Nottingham.

Rutherford is described as a white man, approximately 5 foot 2 in height with brown hair and blue eyes.

If you see or have information as to him current whereabouts, please call North Yorkshire Police on 101.

Alternatively, you can pass on information anonymously through independent charity Crimestoppers by calling 0800 555 111 or via their website.

If you have an immediate sighting of Rutherford, please call 999.
