A prisoner is being hunted by police.

Burglar Ryan Dufton has breached the terms of his release on licence and has vanished.

Now police in Dewsbury have named him as a man they urgently want to trace.

Dufton, 34, is wanted for recall to prison.

He is believed to be in the Dewsbury area although he has links to Leeds and was previously convicted for burglary offences.

He is described as white, about 5ft 9ins tall, with shaved fair hair. He has tribal signs tattooed on his left forearm and dots tattooed on the knuckles of his left hand.

Det Insp Andy Parr, of Dewsbury CID, said: “We would ask anyone who sees him or has information about his whereabouts not to approach him but to contact the police immediately on 101."
