Stephen Gee's mugshot looked similar to hundreds of others released by Merseyside Police when on the hunt for wanted men and women.

A grimace, a prison-issue baggy grey sweatshirt, bags under the eyes and look of defiance into the camera.

The middle-aged suspect was wanted on recall to prison last week after serving time for a brutal robbery on an OAP.

A horrible crime, but small fry when it comes to the Liverpool underworld.

But for residents of a particularly notorious estate in the city, the look of this pathetic middle-aged career crook may have sent a shiver down their spine.
