Philip John Watson, 27, was released from HMP Hull on March 16 having been jailed for robbery and racially/religiously aggravated criminal damage, North Yorkshire Police said.

They added in an appeal that he has since breached the terms of his release licence due to poor behaviour and the Prison and Probation Service recalled him to prison on April 6.
