During his release in license, police said he had failed to attend appointments with his probation officer and consequently was recalled to prison on May 12.

Police said he is white, 5ft 7in, of skinny build, with brown hair and hazel eyes.

When he was last seen he was wearing a dirty blue-and-cream long-sleeved shirt, electric blue chinos and bright blue sunglasses with yellow arms, added police.
