Police on the hunt for wanted person last seen in Cambridge

Police have asked for the public’s help to find a wanted person who was last seen in Cambridge earlier this month. Jason Whiteoak has been recalled to prison.

Whiteoak, who has convictions for serious sexual assault and robbery, lives in Selby in North Yorkshire. The person also has links to Humberside in Sussex, the North East and London.

The 52-year-old was last seen in Cambridge on Monday, February 17, and was pictured on CCTV. Extensive enquiries have taken place since then and police are now appealing to the public for further information or sightings.

Whiteoak, who can present as female under the name Karla, has also been known by a number of other names. Detective Chief Inspector Dave Ellis today appealed directly to Whiteoak, saying: “I’d urge you to get in touch so we can speak to you and help resolve this matter.”
