POLICE have issued an urgent appeal for a "high risk" rapist wanted on recall to prison.
Sex offender Kevin Anthony Wyatt, also known as David Edge, 37, disappeared after leaving approved premises in Accrington, Lancashire earlier this month.
Wyatt, who sports a gun tattoo, failed to return to the address, sparking a manhunt for the predator.
He was handed a 10-year prison sentence for rape at Preston Crown Court in April 2016.
Lancashire Police urged members of the public not to approach him as "he is considered a high risk offender."
He is described as white, 5ft 11in tall and of stocky build.
He has a number of distinctive tattoos, including a cross symbol with the word "Grandma" on his left arm, a tattoo of "2 GUNS" on his back and a tattoo of a bird on his chest.
Wyatt has links to several areas in Cumbria, including Barrow-in-Furness, Whitehaven, Carlisle and Dalton-in-Furness.
He also has links to Blackpool and Worcester.
Police are very concerned following his disappearance from the approved address in Accrington.
Det Con Kyle Hazelaar, of Lancashire Police, said: "Wyatt is wanted on prison recall after failing to return to approved premises.
"He is considered a high risk offender and he should not be approached.
"If you have any information about his whereabouts please come forward."
Anyone with information is urged to call 101 or (01254) 353246.
