17th April, 2014 - about an hour ago...

Police are currently searching for a man who has breached a supervision order by removing his electronic monitoring device.

About 4.15 pm on Wednesday 16 April 2014 Corrective Services NSW officers electronically tracking Daniel McQuilton received an alarm that indicated he may have removed his tracking anklet.

Corrective Services enquiries confirmed McQuilton had deviated from his approved schedule of movements and discarded his tracking equipment – both being breaches of the terms of his court-ordered Extended Supervision Order.

McQuilton’s last known location was Oxford Square in Darlinghurst.

Corrective Services informed Eastern Beaches police shortly after 5pm that McQuilton had breached the order. His anklet has since been recovered in Sydney’s CBD.

Police are now searching for 27-year-old McQuilton. He is described as being 186cms tall, of medium build, with short blonde hair, short goatee beard and green eyes.

He is believed to be travelling in a stolen silver coloured Mitsubishi Lancer with NSW registration VWX-357.

He was last seen in the vicinity of West Street, Petersham.

Police consider McQuilton to be dangerous and are advising members of the public not to approach him, but instead to call Triple Zero (000) immediately.

Police are urging anyone with information about this incident to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or use the Crime Stoppers online reporting page: https://www1.police.nsw.gov.au/.
