Police searching for John Henry Bond, who is wanted in connection with serious harassment and stalking offences, have renewed a public appeal to try and find him.

Sussex Police put out an initial wanted appeal in February for the 63-year-old who has connections to Dorset.

Bond pleaded guilty to bombarding his former partner with a string of threatening text messages and phone calls between June 13 and 21.

However, he has since failed to appear in court for sentencing and police have issued a warrant for his arrest.

Bond has connections to East and West Sussex, as well as Poole, Ferndown, Bournemouth, Weymouth and Wimborne in Dorset, Salisbury in Wiltshire and Ringwood in Hampshire.

If you see him or know where he could be, please report it online or call 101 – or 999 in an emergency – quoting serial 1285 of 13/06.

Alternatively, you can visit the Crimestoppers website or contact the independent charity anonymously on 0800 555 111.
