A convicted burglar who has breached the conditions of his release is wanted by police.

Steven Hargreaves, 34, is wanted for recall to prison after absconding from an address in Accrington where he was living as part of his licence conditions.

Sgt Martin Storey from Lancashire Constabulary’s Offender Management Unit said: “We are keen to locate Hargreaves as soon as possible and I would urge anyone with information regarding his whereabouts to get in touch and not to approach him.

“Similarly if he sees this appeal himself I would urge him to make contact with police and attend the nearest police station.”

He was released earlier this month on licence after being convicted of robbery and burglary related offences.

He is described as white, around 5ft 11 tall with short cropped hair.

He is believed to be back in the Burnley area and is known to have links to the Griffin area.
