Devon and Cornwall Police are appealing for information to help locate a 47-year-old man from the Barnstaple area who is wanted on recall to prison.

Dean Copp is sought by officers after breaching his post-release licence conditions.

He is described as white, around 5ft 11ins tall, of slim build with short dark brown hair and facial hair, though police say he may have since shaved his head.

Copp has links across North Devon, including Barnstaple, Bideford and Ilfracombe.

Anyone who sees him or knows of his whereabouts is asked not to approach him but to call 999 quoting reference 50260078571.
