A convicted conman with links to a Merseyside town is now wanted by police after he failed to return to prison.
Robert David Salinger, 36, a father of three with connections to Birkenhead, failed to return to the prison where he was sentenced in 2020 after targeting plant hire and car tyre firms in a fraud worth £360,000. He was sentenced to four year in prison for the "organised and sophisticated" fraud.
Salinger was being held at the open prison HMP Sudbury, in Derbyshire, when he failed to return after a period of release. Derbyshire police are now appealing to anyone with information on the whereabouts of Salinger, who has links to Birkenhead, as well as Manchester and Blackpool.
