Steven Scaum is wanted on recall to prison
A Hampshire force spokesperson said: “Our teams have been following extensive lines of enquiry to locate the 34-year-old from Southampton and are now asking the public for their help.
“We believe he is in the Hythe or Blackfield areas of the New Forest.”
Scaum is described as white, about 6ft 1in tall, with short hair and stubble, and he usually wears tracksuits and hooded jumpers.
He also uses the surname Sophocleous.
The spokesperson added: “We would like to remind people that anyone found to be harbouring Steven to deliberately obstruct our attempts to locate him may be committing an offence and be liable for arrest themselves.”
The force says those who have seen him, or have information regarding his whereabouts, should not approach him but dial 999, quoting reference 44260115889.
