A search has been launched to trace a robber who was part of a sledgehammer-wielding gang that raided 22 banks and post offices in two counties.
Merseyside Police said Ian Stewart, 55, is wanted on recall for breaching the terms of his licence. Stewart, of Liverpool, has links to Runcorn and Warrington, and was jailed in 2016 for 13 years for conspiracy to robbery.
The ECHO reported at the time how Stewart was part of a six-man gang that smashed its way into 22 banks and post offices netting £1.3m. Branches targeted ranged from NatWest in Warrington and NatWest in Neston to RBS in Waterloo and Barclays in Maghull.
