A MAN from Shrewsbury who has links to Lancashire is wanted on recall to prison.

West Mercia Police is appealing to the local community in Shropshire and Lancashire for help locating a wanted man in Shrewsbury.

Officers wish to locate 37 year-old Michael Harries, from Shrewsbury, after he is believed to have breached the conditions of his license.
