Update:South Wales Police confirmed Ian Campbell was arrested in Brighton on Wednesday night and is in police custody

Police are hunting a sex offender who has been on the run for two years.

Ian Campbell, 40, from Rhondda Cynon Taf , was jailed in 2016 for possessing indecent images.

He was released from prison in 2017 but failed to comply with his licence conditions.

He is now wanted by police for breaching his licence.

Officers believe he was once in the Brighton area and might still be there.

Sergeant Ben Rowe said: “He has failed to comply with strict licence conditions and is a wanted man.

“It is concerning that somebody with his offending history is not currently being managed in the community - somebody somewhere will know where he is.

“Our investigations indicate that at some point he visited the Brighton area since he went on the run.

“He could be living and working under an alias, so, our appeal is to anybody in Brighton, and indeed the rest of the UK, to get in touch if they have seen him or if they know where he is.”

Anybody who does have information should call South Wales Police on 101 quoting reference 226069.

Alternatively they can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
