A £500 reward has been offered for information that leads to a wanted man’s arrest.

Ryan Skinner has been on the run from prison after breaching his licence conditions.

The robber was convicted at Lewes Crown Court in 2016 to four years and four months in prison.

As per sentencing rules, he served the first half of his sentence in prison, and then was set to be released on-licence for the second half.

The 33-year-old breached his conditions of release from HMP Brixton, and is now wanted by officers.

He is from the Eastbourne area, but police say he could also be in Hastings or in the Rother area of East Sussex.

Those who breach licence conditions can be recalled to serve the remainder of their sentence in prison, depending on the severity of the breach.

Skinner is described as 6ft 2ins, with brown hair, blue eyes, and of slim build.

Detective Inspector Andy Eggleton said: “We hope this reward will encourage someone to come forward with information of Skinner’s whereabouts, as he is presently actively avoiding police.”

Anyone who sees him or knows where he is should report it on the Sussex Police website or call 101, quoting 1029 of 29/11/2018.
