Stevens may be in county
Tuesday 16th March 2010, 10:17AM GMT.
A police hunt for a wanted man continued today with “strong suggestions” he could be in Shropshire.
Officers have been searching for James “Jimmy” Stevens for just over a week after he breached a condition of his prison release licence to live in Worcester.
Police believe he could have travelled to Bridgnorth, where he is originally from and where he has relatives.
The 52-year-old, who also has relatives in Telford, was jailed for eight years in 2004 for attempted armed robbery with a sawn-off shotgun in Madeley Stores.
The public has been warned not to approach him.
Porcha Treanor, West Mercia police press officer, said today: “Officers are following up a number of lines of inquiry.
“There is a strong suggestion he is in the Bridgnorth area. We would like to appeal for anyone with information to contact us.”
Stevens, who was released from prison in January, has got a pony tail.
Anyone with information should contact police on 0300 333 3000 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
