POLICE are searching for a Warrington man who was jailed for a knifepoint robbery in the town.

Officers say Jack Giblin is wanted on recall to prison.

Giblin lives in Warrington and is evading capture officers said today, Sunday.

Gilbin was one of three men jailed in 2019 for a terrifying robbery on Knutsford Road.

The gang brandished a blade and a house brick as they targeted their victim in an alleyway in Latchford as he was walking home alone in the dark.

Chester Crown Court heard that he had visited the Esso garage on Knutsford Road at around 2am on Friday, April 12, to buy a can of Coca Cola and credit for his mobile phone.

As he made his way home along the main road smoking a cigarette, he heard a male voice saying ‘ask that man for a ciggie’.

When he looked up, he saw the three defendants – Jack Giblin, Christopher Wood and James Lee.

All four then began to walk back towards the garage, but Giblin brandished a knife from his coat pocket and marched the man down an alley.

Giblin, described in court as being the ringleader during the attack, ordered the victim to take off his coat and give him all of his belongings.

The 21-year-old, of Fox Street in Whitecross, then demanded that the victim take off his trainers and a gold chain he was wearing around his neck.

He was jailed for four-and-a-half years.

Anyone who sees him or knows where he is should call 101, quoting IML 1634874, or provide info online https://orlo.uk/xwgQ4
