AN alleged thief is wanted by police who say he failed to turn up to court.

Peter Tucker, 31, breached his tagging order and failed to answer his court bail after he was charged with theft, police said.

Tucker is from Burgess Hill but also has links to Haywards Heath and Lewes.

He is white, slim and about 6ft with short light brown hair.

PC Louise Hill said: "We need to find Tucker so that he can be put before the court to face his charges.

"If you have any idea where he is or where he could be, please contact us.

"There is nothing to suggest that members of the public are in any danger from him but if you see him, please call us on 999 rather than approaching him yourself."
