Lancashire Police have renewed their appeal for information to help trace prisoner Bryan Thomas, who remains at large after failing to return to HMP Kirkham following temporary release.
Thomas was released from the prison on August 21 to undertake unpaid work but failed to return as required. Police previously appealed to the public for help locating him, but have confirmed there is no further update on the search.
Officers are continuing to urge anyone who may have information about Thomas's whereabouts to come forward. Members of the public are also being warned not to approach him if they see him. Instead, anyone who spots Thomas is urged to call 999.
A spokesperson for the force said: “Numerous enquiries have been ongoing to find Thomas, 27, who comes from Kirkby, Merseyside. We are now asking for your help as part of those enquiries to return Thomas to lawfully custody.
“Thomas is around 5ft 8in, medium build, has brown hair and blue eyes. He has links to the Kirkby and Melling areas of Merseyside, and to Manchester. We ask that you do not approach Thomas but to report any immediate sightings by calling 999.
“Any previous sightings or information as to where he might be, please contact 101 – quoting log 1512 of 21st August”
