AN urgent appeal has been issued to find a man who, after serving part of his sentence for a serious sexual offence, is wanted on recall to prison following a breach of the terms of his release.

Lee Michaels, who also goes by the name of Lee Beazley, was released on licence in June last year.

The 36-year-old speaks with a North East accent and has ‘Lee’ tattooed on his right arm and a Bulldog tattooed on his back.

He is believed to be of no fixed abode but has links to the WF1 area of Wakefield.

It is possible he may be sleeping rough in a ‘12’ plate black Ford Fiesta.

Michaels is described as being about five feet nine inches tall and of slim build.

Enquiries are continuing to locate Michaels and anyone who can assist in locating him is asked to contact police at Wakefield on 101 or by using the LiveChat facility on the West Yorkshire Police website.
