POLICE have launched a hunt to find a man wanted on recall to prison.

Officers are keen to locate wanted man Mark Griffiths from Southampton, who also has links to the Test Valley area.

People are urged not to approach him but to call police if they have seen him or know where he is.

A spokesperson from Hampshire Constabulary said: “We would like to remind people that anyone found to be harbouring Mark to deliberately obstruct our attempts to locate him may be committing an offence and be liable for arrest themselves.”
