Police issue warning over sex offender

Police have issued a warning to the public after a convicted sex offender, described as 'high-risk', broke his probation conditions.

Paul Hunter Redpath, 35, recently left his approved accommodation – failing to comply with the terms of his probation - and police have warned that he poses a serious threat to vulnerable children and young people.

He is described as being around 6ft 2ins tall, of thin build, with blue eyes, a fair complexion and speaks with a Scottish accent.

Police have warned the public that Redpath should not be approached, and anyone who believes that they have seen him, or who may have any information on his whereabouts, should contact them immediately.
