Wanted woman found in York

Police have located a wanted woman in York.

Earlier this month we reported that police were hunting Rachel Nelson.

Nelson, 40, was jailed for three years and ten months in April 2018 for attempted wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.

She was released in August last year on license, and was recalled to prison for failing to comply with her licence conditions.

Police appealed for help in finding her. Today a force spokesperson said: “Thank you to everyone who shared our appeal to find wanted woman Rachel Nelson.

“She was located in York, is now in custody, and will be returned to prison for failing to comply with her licence conditions.”
