High-risk sex offender 'may be in North'

British police are today warning that a high-risk sex offender wanted for recall to prison may be in Northern Ireland.

Lancashire police have been searching for William John Paden since he left an agreed address in Blackpool.

The 56-year-old is thought to pose a significant risk of reoffending. He is banned from associating with children.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the PSNI.
