Police are searching for an Essex man wanted in connection with allegations of malicious communications and breaching a non-molestation order.

Essex Police has issued a public appeal to help find 28-year-old Johnny Bruce, who has links to Basildon and Chelmsford.

“Do you know where Johnny Bruce is?” a force spokesman asked.

“The 28-year-old has links to Basildon and Chelmsford.

“We would like to speak to him in connection with malicious communications and breaching a non-molestation order.”

A non-molestation used to prevent people using or threatening violence against an individual, often an ex-partner.

Bruce is described as white, slim, has short dark hair and is 6ft 2ins tall.

“If you have seen him, or know his whereabouts, please call Chelmsford police station on 101,” the force spokesman added.
