Convicted of sexual activity with a boy.

Police are appealing for the public's help to track down a convicted sex offender who sported a Greggs-branded jumper in his mugshot.

Shaun Aver, 36, is wanted on recall to prison after repeatedly breaching his sex offender notification requirements following his conviction for sexual activity with a boy.

Aver, from Greater Manchester, is known to have links to Preston, Blackpool, Blackburn, and Fleetwood. He is currently homeless and is required to register at the police station every seven days as part of his Sexual Harm Prevention Order.

He failed to comply with this requirement, leading to the issuance of a warrant for his arrest.

A Greater Manchester Police spokesperson stated, "Police are appealing for the public's help to trace a wanted man from the Bury area. Shaun Aver is wanted on recall to prison. He is known to have links to the city centre, north Manchester, Preston, and Cumbria areas."

Aver was previously classified as a 'risk to women and children' when he went on the run earlier this year.

He is described as being 5ft 6in tall, of medium build, with short brown hair.

However, the police's appeal has prompted a wave of amusement on social media, focusing on Aver's distinctive Greggs jumper in his mugshot.

"The fashion police may have him. That jumper is a crime in itself," commented Vanessa Knight.

One user joked, "Wanted for baking and entering and possession of an offensive jumper."

Tom Goulden quipped, "Wanted for baking and entering & possession of an offensive jumper."

Aaron Lee suggested, "He's behind the counter at Bury Greggs! You'll catch him if you park up outside and wait. We'll call it a Steak Bake out."

Lynne Rohmann added, "Just proves, beyond a reasonable doubt, some people will wear anything."

Emily Robinson joked, "Imagine getting lifted wearing that jumper."

Maria Carty said, "If he's not wearing the matching leggings I'll be disappointed."

Vanessa JS echoed, "Best publicity Greggs and Primark have had. He's never going to live that mugshot down. If he's not arrested for his crimes against fashion he'll want to be arrested to hide his humiliation."

Greater Manchester Police reposted the Facebook plea, adding, "Other bakery chains are available."

Greggs collaborated with Primark to release a collection of pastry-themed clothing, including jumpers, shoes, and tracksuits.
