Police are appealing for information about a man who is wanted on prison recall.

Michael Dixon, 26, who is currently of no fixed address but originally from the Hartlepool area, was jailed for two years in 2011 at Preston Crown Court for a number of offences including burglary, possession of Class B drugs and assault.

He was later released from prison on licence but has since breached the terms of that licence and has therefore been recalled to prison.

Dixon is described as being white, of medium build with light brown hair, blue eyes and around five feet five inches tall.

He has connections to the Lancaster and Morecambe areas but his current whereabouts are unknown.

Detective Sergeant Paul Greenhalgh said, “We would ask the public, particularly in the Lancaster and Morecambe areas to be vigilant and to report any sightings to the police – any details could be crucial.”

Anyone with any information should call Lancashire Police on 101.

People with information can also contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or on-line at Crimestoppers-uk.org. No personal details are taken, information is not traced or recorded and you will not go to court.
