A man wanted on recall to prison could be in Ripon, North Yorkshire Police has said.

Anthony Ward, 42, was recalled due to "poor behaviour and failure to reside in an approved address" after he was released in February, according to a police statement today (March 3).

Ward was jailed for burglary last year.

The statement said he is white and has brown hair and blue eyes.

It added:

We believe Ward could be in the Ripon area, he also has links to Leeds.

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 Ward, please call 999.
