POLICE are hunting a convicted burglar and have turned to the public for help.

Officers are appealing for the public’s help to find 49-year-old Paul David Redford who is wanted for recall to prison.

Redford, who also uses the name Paul Stevens, was released from prison on licence in October 2014 after serving a prison sentence of two years and four months for burglary.

However he failed to adhere to his licence conditions and is now wanted for recall to prison. He is also wanted on suspicion of theft offences.

His last known address was in Colburn and it is believed that he could be in the Catterick Garrison, Darlington, Lancashire, Berkshire, Thames Valley or London areas.

Officers have carried out a number of searches to locate Mr Redford and as part of their enquiries, are appealing to anyone who has seen him or knows where he is now, to contact them.

Anyone with any information is asked to call North Yorkshire Police on 101, select option one and pass information to the force control room.

To remain anonymous, pass information to Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
