DETECTIVES are appealing for information to track down a man wanted on suspicion of burglary.

Dorset Police say Carl Jones, 30, of Halewood in Liverpool, is known to frequent the West Howe and north Bournemouth area and officers have been visiting homes in the area in a bid to locate him.

The burglary took place nearly a year ago on Saturday, August 27, 2016, in the Ferndown area.

Carl Jones is described as six feet three inches tall, of medium build and with short brown hair.

Detective Sergeant Paul Auger said: “I am releasing a photo of Carl Jones in the hope that someone will know of his whereabouts.

“We know that he visits Bournemouth on a regular basis and I am certain that someone locally knows where he is.

“While we have no information to suggest that Carl Jones presents a direct risk to the public, anyone who sees him should not approach him but immediately contact Dorset Police on 999.”
