Police are on the hunt for a sex offender who was last seen at a railway station at a popular seaside town.
Christopher Spelman, 66, is wanted for failing to comply with sexual offender notifications requirements, police say.
In a Facebook post on Thursday, Lancashire Police made a public appeal, saying "we are continuing to ask for your help to find Christopher".
Police say Spelman is originally from Prescot in Merseyside.
"(He) is likely to be living in a tent and travelling - using transport hubs and campsites," police said.
Spelman was released from jail near Weymouth at the start of July.
The post indicated that he "failed to register an address with police" which was in breach of his notification requirements.
The man could be seen "on CCTV at Bournemouth railway station" about 10.56am on Friday, July 4.
