A police search for a convicted sex offender has shifted to Surrey.

“Anyone who has seen him is urged to call us immediately – one simple call can ensure he faces the justice he deserves.

“There is a five-year prison sentence waiting for him when we catch up with him and we will continue to look until we find him,” he added.

Anyone who has information about where he or who thinks they have seen him, is urged to contact South Wales Police on 01656 655 555 quoting reference *298538 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
