POLICE need help finding a man wanted in connection with a burglary in Boscombe.

William Smith, aged 36, failed to appear in court following the incident.

He is described as white, with short brown hair.

Detective Inspector Richard Philp, of Bournemouth CID, said: “We are making a number of ongoing enquiries to locate Smith, and I am releasing his image in the hope that someone will know of his whereabouts.

“While we have no information to suggest that he presents a direct risk to members of the public, I would urge anyone who sees Smith not to approach him but to immediately contact Dorset Police on 999.”
