Criminal was wanted by police just 72 hours after being released from prison

A man was out of prison for just three days before breaking the terms of his freedom.

Trefor Watson was released from jail on December 4 after serving part of a three year sentence for wounding.

The 37-year-old was wanted by December 7 after breaching his licence conditions.

Merseyside Police is now seeking the help of the public as the force attempts to track him down and make him serve the remainder of his sentence.

Watson, who has links to Stockport and Widnes, is described as being white, of a large build, 5ft 8in tall and having green eyes and shaven hair.

He is the latest to feature in the ECHO's annual Festive Fugitive campaign.
