POLICE are searching for Lee Evans, from Scarborough, who is wanted for recall to prison.

Evans, 34, had been serving a three-month custodial sentence for theft offences, but was released from prison on May 24.

Since then, he has failed to attend appointments with his supervising probation officer, and his release licence was revoked on Monday. He must now return to custody.

A North Yorkshire Police spokesman said Evans has connections with Scarborough and Malton, and officers have been making enquiries in those areas to locate him.

Anyone who recognises Evans or has information on his whereabouts should contact police on 101, select option one and quote reference 12170107283.
