POLICE are appealing for help to find a Burnley man wanted on prison recall.

Ben Monks, 25, has breached the terms of his licence after failing to live at his approved premises in Blackburn.

He was released from prison on licence after he was sentenced to 21 months at Burnley Crown Court for assault and possession of an offensive weapon in December 2015.

He is described as white, 5ft 8in tall, proportionate build with short brown hair. He has links to the Burnley area.

Police are warning people not to approach Monks.

If anyone has seen him or has any information on his whereabouts, they should contact police as soon as possible.

Anyone with information can contact police on 101 or alternatively independent charity Crimestoppers can be contacted anonymously on 0800 555 111 or online at Crimestoppers-uk.org.
