A SUSPECTED criminal with links to Cullompton due in court has gone on the run, police say.

The Devon and Cornwall force is appealing for the public's help to trace 32-year-old Ricky Wilkins.

Wilkins was originally charged with burglary, but he has failed to comply with the conditions of his prison licence as part of his probation.

A spokesman for the constabulary said that despite numerous enquiries being made by officers, they have been unable to locate him.

He added that Wilkins has connections to Devon, in particular Cullompton, Honiton, Exeter and Exmouth.

He is described as 5ft 11ins tall, of proportionate build and with brown hair. He has a Grim Reaper tattoo on his arm.

Anyone who sees Wilkins or knows of his whereabouts is asked to contact police on 101, quoting log 374 of 05/06/15, or alternatively call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800-555111.
