He was released unexpectedly."The sentence imposed and the length of time spent in custody meant he was released immediately from the prison."The police knew where he was but he had not updated the authorities and that is where this arises from."Sheriff Millar said: "This should not affect your release date but it will be on your record should you breach the notification requirements again."
