Gerard Given: PSNI hunt for man unlawfully at large
Police are trying to locate a man who has been recalled to prison and is currently unlawfully at large.
Gerard Given was convicted in 2023 of grievous bodily harm that took place in 2022. He has since breached the conditions of his licence and has been recalled to prison.
Police have launched a public appeal to help try to locate Gerard and have also urged him to hand himself in.
He is described as being 5’ 8” in height, of medium build and has blue eyes.
Detective Chief Inspector Lorraine McCutcheon said: “Despite attempts to arrest Mr Given, police have been unable to locate him. He may have travelled to the Republic of Ireland.
"Officers are appealing to anyone who has seen him or who knows of his whereabouts not to approach him, but to contact police on 101 quoting reference RM24034280.
“Police would also appeal directly to him to hand himself in.
“Alternatively, information can also be provided to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 which is 100% anonymous.”
