A MAN bombarded his ex girlfriend with threatening messages.

John Henry Bond is now wanted by police in connection with serious harassment and stalking offences.

The 63-year-old pleaded guilty to sending threatening text messages and phone calls between June 13 and 21 but has since failed to appear in court for sentencing, so police have issued a warrant for his arrest.

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

Police have asked anyone who has seen him or knows where he could be to report it online or call 101 – or 999 in an emergency – quoting serial 1285 of 13/06.
