Lancashire police are asking for the public's help in the search for a convicted sex offender who's wanted on recall to prison.
Kevin Anthony Wyatt, also known as David Edge, was handed a 10 year prison sentence for rape at Preston Crown Court in April 2016.
The 37-year-old left approved premises in Accrington earlier this month and didn't return.
He is described as white, 5ft 11in tall and of stocky build.
He has a number of tattoos, including a cross symbol with the word ‘Grandma’ on his left arm, a tattoo of ‘2 GUNS’ on his back and a tattoo of a bird on his chest.
Wyatt has links to several areas in Cumbria, including Barrow-in-Furness, Whitehaven, Carlisle and Dalton-in-Furness. He also has links to Blackpool and Worcester.
Police say they are very concerned following his disappearance.
Det Con Kyle Hazelaar, of Lancashire Police, said: “Wyatt is wanted on prison recall after failing to return to approved premises.
“He is considered a high risk offender and he should not be approached.
“If you have any information about his whereabouts please come forward.”
