A CONVICTED arsonist is still on the run. 

Christopher Locke, also known as Peter Blaney, is wanted on recall to prison after he breached the terms of a licence for his early release.

Locke, 56, of no fixed address, but known to frequent the Crawley, Kent and London areas, was serving a four-and-a-half year sentence for arson, imposed in October 2015.

In May 2019 he left custody at HM Prison Highpoint in Suffolk, but then failed to keep to the conditions required of him.

A public appeal for help in tracing him was first issued in July that year, and although there are no suspicious circumstances around Locke's disappearance, there have been no reported sightings of him since then.

Enquiriers are continuing and anyone seeing Locke is asked to dial 999 immediately and ask for police.

Anyone knowing where he is can report details online or by phoning 101, quoting serial 169 of 25/05/19.

The independent charity Crimestoppers can also be contacted online or anonymously by phone on 0800 555 111.
