Christopher Spelman is the subject of a manhunt which also spans Lancashire, Merseyside and Staffordshire.
Lancashire Police have launched an appeal to track down the 57-year-old.

Spelman failed to sign on at a new address in Cheshire as part of his prison release requirements, his last known address was in Liverpool.
Officers say he may have grown a full beard and is previously known to have camped outdoors.

“Spelman knows he should have gone to his new address to register and so I would also urge him if he sees this appeal to hand himself in at his nearest police station.”
