A CONVICTED sex offender last seen in Accrington is wanted by police on recall to prison.
Daniel Farmer, 23, formerly of Hazelbottom Road, Crumpsall, Manchester, was jailed in 2012 for inciting a girl to engage in sexual activity and placed on the Sex Offenders’ Register. Following a separate investigation, the 23-year-old was charged and convicted of assault.
He was released to an address in Lydia Street, Accrington, but went missing on Monday (November 6), breaching his notification requirements.
Farmer has links to the Salford and Stockport areas.
Detectives are advising anyone who sees Farmer not to approach him, but to instead contact police.
Det Sgt Steve Munro, of Lancashire Police, said: “Farmer has been wanted for several days now and is in breach of his notification requirements.
“He has strong links to Manchester and we believe he is likely to be somewhere in the city.
“I would advise anyone with information about Farmer’s location to contact police immediately.”
Anyone with information can contact police on 101 quoting log reference 0019 of November 7.
