DARRIN DICKINSON ON THE RUN FROM OLDHAM AND MANCHESTER POLICE

In June 2011, authorities issued a public appeal seeking assistance in locating Darren Dickinson, a convicted sex offender with a troubling criminal history. Dickinson, aged 28 at the time, had previously served time in prison after being convicted of rape in 2002. His release from incarceration did not mark the end of his legal troubles, as he subsequently violated the strict conditions of his license.

Specifically, Dickinson failed to notify authorities of a change in his residential address, a breach that prompted officials to place him back on the list of individuals subject to recall to prison. This breach of license conditions is taken very seriously by law enforcement agencies, as it indicates a potential risk to public safety and a failure to comply with the terms set forth by the justice system.

Authorities have confirmed that Dickinson maintains connections to both Oldham and the southern parts of Manchester, areas where he is believed to have links and possibly where he might be hiding. The police are urging anyone with information about his whereabouts to come forward to assist in his apprehension. The case underscores ongoing concerns about the management and monitoring of convicted offenders, especially those with a history of sexual violence.
