Police are appealing for help in tracing 53-year-old Keith Bowden, from Falmouth, who is wanted for recall to prison.

Bowden was originally charged with burglary on January 13. A police spokesman said: "Numerous enquiries have been made by police to locate and arrest Bowden, and we are now appealing to the public for information about his whereabouts and to report any sightings.

It is believed Bowden is in the west/mid areas of Cornwall and is not considered a direct threat to the public. He is described as white, 5ft 6ins tall, of medium build and may or not be clean shaven as he has had a beard in the past.

Anyone who sees Keith Bowden or knows of his whereabouts is asked to contact police on 101, quoting log number 321 for the 31st of January. Information can also be passed anonymously to Crimestoppers via 0800 555 111, or via the charity’s website at crimestoppers-org.uk.
