Detectives appeal over wanted sex offender
DETECTIVES are appealing for information to find a wanted sex offender.
Daniel Farmer was jailed in 2012 for inciting a girl to engage in sexual activity and placed on the Sex Offenders’ Register. Following a separate investigation, the 23-yearold was charged and convicted of assault.
He was released to an address in Lydia Street, Accrington, but went missing on Monday, November 6, breaching his notification requirements.
Formerly of Hazelbottom Road, Crumpsall, Manchester, Farmer is wanted by police on recall to prison.
Detectives are advising anyone who sees Farmer not to approach him, but to instead contact police.
Det Sgt Steve Munro, of Lancashire Police, said: “Farmer has been wanted for several days now and is in breach of his notification requirements.
“He has strong links to the Manchester area and we believe he is likely to be somewhere in the city.
“I would advise anyone with information about Farmer’s location to contact police immediately.”
Anyone with information can contact police on 101 quoting log reference 0019 of November 7.
Alternatively, independent charity Crimestoppers can be contacted on 0800 555 111 or online at crimestoppers-uk.org.
