POLICE are hunting a Bradford convict who is wanted on recall to prison for breaching restrictions imposed when he was released from a burglary sentence last month.

Officers are appealing for information about the whereabouts of Joseph Coultous, aged 22, who is said to have links with the Little Horton, Canterbury, Holme Wood and Great Horton areas of the city.

He was released last month but had conditions imposed as part of his prison licence and police say those have been breached.

Detective Inspector Paula Bickerdike, of Bradford District CID said: "Coultous was previously sentenced for burglary and has breached the conditions of his prison licence.

"If he is not prepared to adhere to these strict guidelines then he must be brought to justice and recalled to prison.

"We have undertaken numerous enquiries to locate this man and officers are fully briefed as to his description.

"Members of the public, however; can assist in our efforts to return him to jail and I would call on anyone who has seen him or has information, to contact us immediately by calling 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111."
