Police are seeking a Liverpool man with Romford connections, who is wanted for recall to prison.

Warren Keating, 24, is originally from Liverpool and maintains strong family links to that area.

He was sentenced to 48 months imprisonment at Liverpool Crown Court in 2009 for affray, possession of an offensive weapon, possession with intent to supply Class A drugs, and two offences of possession of Cannabis.

All the offences were committed in the Merseyside area.
