Doyle was found with a loaded gun after he stopped to buy a steak pie while delivering a the revolver to pay off his drug debt.
In November 2016, then 22, he was spotted by police at The Withens shops in Stockbridge Village after going between Sayers and Ladbrokes bookmakers.
Officers searched him and found a Smith & Wesson gun, containing six bullets, in a “man bag” hanging around his neck.
Doyle admitted possessing a firearm and ammunition and was sentenced to six and a half years behind bars after a judge dismissed his claim he did not know the weapon was loaded.
Now 27, police want to see him back behind bars after he breached his licence conditions.
They described Doyle as 5ft 7in, having brown eyes, short, straight light brown hair, and being of proportionate build. He is from Dovecot and has a Liverpool accent.
Anyone who has seen him - or who has any information about his location - is asked to contact Merseyside Police by calling 101 or via Twitter (@MerPolCC).
