DETECTIVES are hunting a convicted burglar who is suspected of committing a further offence.

North Yorkshire Police said Kevin Lewis, 31, of Station Square, Harrogate, is wanted for recall to prison as he has breached the conditions of his release licence.

He was sentenced to two years and four months’ jail in March 2013, after being convicted of burglary and was released from prison in August.

Lewis is described as white, 5ft 11in tall, with a skinny build and dark brown, balding hair.

It is believed Lewis is in the Harrogate area and he has links to the town centre.

Detective Sergeant Kevin Kelly, of Harrogate CID, said: “Mr Lewis, if you see or hear this appeal, my advice is simple - hand yourself in.

“By remaining at large you are only making the inevitable outcome worse for yourself and prolonging your stay in prison when we catch up with you.

“Officers have already visited addresses in the Harrogate area which we know Lewis has links to and the efforts to locate him will continue until he is back in custody."

Anyone who sees Lewis, or knows where he is should call 101, or Crimestoppers, anonymously on 0800-555-111.
