A Brighton man who was jailed for seven years after being tackled to the ground by a pensioner while trying to rob a post office counter at knifepoint is wanted for recall to prison.
Police in Brighton and Worthing are seeking Luke Michael Kirby, who is wanted after his licence for early release was revoked.
Kirby, 33, who was last known to be living in Marine Parade, Brighton, but who may be in the Adur area, had been serving seven years for robbery.
He was released from Elmley prison, Sheerness, Kent, on 22 May but after breaching the terms of his licence it was revoked on 2 June.

Kirby is described as white, 5ft 7in, of stocky build, with light brown hair and hazel eyes.
