COMMUNITY ALERT: AN on the run sex offender has been spotted in Ardara and may be in the Lettermacaward area
People here have been told not to approach Lorcan Halton, from the Saracen area of Glasgow, who failed to appear in court in Scotland on January 15.
He was spotted in Ardara last Friday and told people there he was living in Lettermacaward.
Prior to that sighting he was last seen in Cairnryan, in south west Scotland, where he boarded the ferry to Belfast January 9.
Police Scotland said in a statement that “extensive inquiries” are being carried out to trace the 45-year-old, but they have so far been unsuccessful.
Halton is described as being white, 6ft and of medium build with brown hair.
He has a distinctive scar on his right arm. When he was last seen he was wearing dark-coloured jeans and a shirt.
Detective Inspector Craig Willison, of London Road police office in Glasgow, said: “Mr Halton was due to attend court on January 15 but failed to appear and has not been seen since, although further inquiries revealed a sighting of him in Cairnryan on Thursday, 9 January where he was boarding a ferry bound for Belfast.
“I would ask anyone who has seen Mr Halton, or who has any information regarding his whereabouts, to contact Gardai. I would advise that no one approaches him, but rather contact police immediately.”
Gardai in Glenties have been informed of the sighting.
