Police said a man was arrested on Monday, February 22 following a spate of burglaries in the Cottam area.

Andrew Harrison, of no fixed address, was charged with several domestic burglaries and appeared at Preston Magistrates Court yesterday (Wednesday, February 24).

The 30-year-old was remanded to custody and his licence has been revoked until May 27, 2022.

Recall to prison

When someone is released from prison ‘on licence’ or on parole, they are supervised by an Offender Manager, according to Prisoners' Families Helpline.

On release, they will be given a copy of their licence with all the conditions they need to adhere to. If they do not keep to the conditions of their licence then they could be recalled and brought back to prison.

A person can be recalled if:

- they commit another crime or are charged with another crime

- they are behaving in a way that leads their Offender Manager to think they might be about to commit another crime.

- they break the conditions of their licence.

What happens if someone is recalled to prison?

If someone is to be recalled to prison for breaching their licence then the police will arrest them and take them back to prison.

Their licence will be revoked meaning that their licence to live in the community has been taken from them and they must be returned to prison.
