Police are on alert after man who is wanted on prison recall was sighted following an appeal on BBC’s Crimewatch Roadshow.
Damien Pietka, a 20-year-old Polish national, was recalled to prison after breaching the terms of his licence following his release from prison on the 24 February 2010.
He was initially imprisoned for a violent disorder offence, and an appeal for information was featured on the BBC Crimewatch programme.
Following the programme, a member of the public has come forward and reported a sighting of him on Raikes Parade, Blackpool at 11:30 am on Monday (13 June).
It is believed that he may be working as a taxi driver in the Blackpool area.
Inspector John Clucas said: "We believe that Pietka left the Lancashire area soon after his release in 2010 and travelled to central Europe, but now it would appear he has returned to the area.
"So I would urge people in Blackpool and the surrounding areas to be vigilant and report any sightings to police. Any details the public may have could be crucial."
He is described as being around 5 feet 10 inches tall, of slim build with hazel eyes, and he speaks English with a heavy eastern European accent.
Information can be passed to the local police, or by e mail using the e mail address on the wanted on warrant web site, or it can be passed anonymously via Crimestoppers 0800 555 111.
