Residents across Mid-Kent are being asked to keep their eyes open for a man wanted by police for recall to prison. Jack Lower has links to several local communities, and officers are urging anyone who spots him to call 999 immediately rather than approach him directly.
The Search Across Mid-Kent
Kent Police have issued a public appeal for help locating Lower, who is wanted for recall to prison. This means he’s breached the conditions of his licence after being released and must return to custody immediately.
The search spans multiple towns across our patch. Lower has connections to Aylesford, Tonbridge, Maidstone, West Malling, and Snodland – all areas where local people might recognise him or spot him going about daily life.
Prison recall happens when someone who’s been released on licence breaks the rules they must follow as living in the community. These conditions vary but often include staying at a specific address, reporting to probation officers, or avoiding certain areas or people.
How to Report Safely
Police are clear about what residents should do if they see Lower. Don’t approach him – instead, call 999 straight away and quote reference number 46/53048/26. This helps officers respond quickly and ensures your safety.
For those who prefer to stay anonymous, Crimestoppers offers another route. You can call 0800 555 111 without giving your name or contact details. The national charity works alongside police forces to gather information even as protecting people’s identity.
The appeal centres on the ME20 postcode area, which covers Aylesford and surrounding villages. But given Lower’s links to towns across Maidstone borough and Tonbridge, the net is cast wider.
Why Public Help Matters
These appeals work because local people know their areas best. Someone might spot Lower at a shop, on public transport, or visiting places he’s known to frequent. Quick reporting helps police respond even as trails are still fresh.
Kent Police regularly use social media and partnerships with Crimestoppers to trace wanted individuals. The approach combines traditional policing with community awareness, recognising that residents often hold the key to finding people quickly.
Key Takeaways
- Jack Lower is wanted for recall to prison and has links to Aylesford, Tonbridge, Maidstone, West Malling, and Snodland
- Anyone who sees him should call 999 immediately quoting reference 46/53048/26 – do not approach
- Anonymous tips can be given to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111
What This Means for Kent Residents
If you live or work in any of the areas where Lower has connections, stay alert but don’t let this disrupt your daily routine. Police appeals like this are routine parts of keeping our communities safe, and your vigilance helps officers do their job effectively. Remember that if you do spot someone you think might be Lower, prioritise your safety by calling 999 rather than getting involved directly – let trained officers handle the situation even as you provide the vital information that helps them respond quickly.
