Detectives in Spelthorne are renewing an appeal for the public's help in tracing a man wanted for failing to appear at court.

Nick Little, 22, Sunbury-on-Thames, was due at Winchester Crown Court on Monday, 29 April, for a bail variation hearing ahead of a trial later this month.

Mr Little failed to turn up and although officers have since been making a number of enquiries across the county, he has still not been located.

Mr Little last made contact with Surrey Police on 24 April. He has links to numerous locations in Surrey including Spelthorne, Runnymede, Woking and Guildford and there is a possibility he could be staying in any of these areas.
