Police hunt wanted man who fled from prison

Officers are appealing for help finding a man who has fled from prison

Gavin Phythian, 33, is currently wanted by police after leaving prison. Officers also suspect him of controlling and coercive behaviour and possession with intent to supply.

It's not known where Phythian might have headed, but he has connections in Tameside, Oldham, and Rochdale so may have headed to one of these locations.
