A "violent robber" who previously escaped jail with the help of a prison officer is wanted by police again.
Michael Seddon, originally from Bootle, was 22 when he was jailed in 2011 for his part in a terrifying gang robbery of a 78-year-old farmer. The gang tied him to a chair and beat him for four hours.
While in jail, Seddon met prison officer Erica Whittingham, previously of Uttoxeter, and started a relationship with her. Erica Whittingham said she fell in love with Seddon and helped him plan his escape.

Seddon left a decoy in his cell to trick guards before meeting Erica Whittingham who was waiting in her car outside HMP Sudbury. While on the run, Whittingham remained in contact with him, meeting Seddon in hotels across England and buying him gifts, such as clothes, over a six month period.
Now Seddon is on the run again and is wanted on recall to prison. The 34-year-old, who has links to Sefton, Liverpool, Bournemouth and Dorset, is wanted after he breached his licence conditions.
A spokesperson for Merseyside Police said: "We are appealing for information to help find a man who is wanted on recall to prison.
"Michael Seddon, 34, is wanted after he breached his licence conditions.
"Seddon is described as 5ft 9in tall, of slim build, with blue eyes and short brown hair. He also has a scar to the left of his mouth and a scar on his right elbow.
"He has links to Sefton, Liverpool, Bournemouth and Dorset.. Anyone who has information as to Seddon's whereabouts is asked to contact @MerPolCC, 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously with reference 23000266166."
