Northumbria Police are seeking public assistance in tracing 26-year-old Declan Simms, who is wanted on emergency prison recall and actively evading arrest. Extensive searches have been underway across the region, with Simms having links to Sunderland city centre, as well as the Grindon, Pennywell, and South Hylton areas.

Simms was one of three jailed in 2017 for a reign of terror around Sunderland in one night, which included attacking a shopkeeper and then assaulting a couple with a broken bottle.
