POLICE are warning people not to approach a woman wanted on recall to prison.

Officers are appealing for information as to the whereabouts of Emma Shirley, 28, who has links to the Taunton area.

She is white, 5ft 5in tall, of medium build, with brown shoulder-length hair which she usually wears in a loose bun or ponytail.

She has a small stud piercing above her left lip and has a large tattoo on the right-hand side of her neck saying 'KAMS' with stars around it.

Shirley often wears tracksuit trousers and hoodies.

A police spokesman said anyone seeing her should not approach her but call 999 and give the call handler the reference number 5218050544.

If you know where she may be, or have any other information which could help police find her, call 101 and give the same reference number.
