Police have today appealed for help from the public in tracking down a criminal wanted on recall to prison.

Deon Anderson was last known to be living in Fiddlers Folley, Fordham Heath, near Colchester, but he has contacted people living in Colchester, Leighton Buzzard and Dunstable.

The 19-year-old, also known as “D One”, is wanted on recall to prison after breaching the conditions of his licence, imposed when he was released from prison after serving a sentence for burglary.

He is described as 5ft 4ins, with a slim build, brown eyes, short dark brown hair which is cropped short and a tattoo of the word “Kai” on his right arm.

Anyone with information about his whereabouts is asked to call Essex Police on 0300 333 4444 or the Metropolitan Police on 020 7230 2515.
