A search is on to find a man police say is wanted on recall to prison.

Officers first put out the appeal to find 31-year-old Darren Turner on Tuesday, September 2.

They say that he is wanted on recall to prison and that he has links to Leigh and Wigan.

A Greater Manchester Police spokesperson said: “We are appealing for the public’s help to find Darren Turner, who is wanted on recall to prison.

“He has links to the Wigan and areas of Greater Manchester.”

An image supplied by police officers shows Turner to be a man in his early 30s with short brown hair.

No further information has been released about him at this stage.

Police often put out appeals like this to help them find wanted suspects across the Greater Manchester region in a bid to encourage people who have seen them to come forward.

They will hope that anyone who recognises the people identified in their appeals will get in touch in order to help with police officers making the search.

Anyone who has any information about Turner or whereabouts has been encouraged to call police on 0161 856 9189.

Alternatively, they can call independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
