Sussex Police ask: have you seen Kesley Searle (pictured above)?

Officers want to find 26-year-old Searle, in order to return him to jail after he broke the terms of his release licence.

There's a reward of £500 for information leading to his arrest.

Police said he had been released from prison on licence in November, part way through a sentence for robbery.

However, the probation service now requires his arrest and return to prison as he has breached the terms of that licence.

Searle is described by police as white, 5'6", of medium build, with blond hair and blue eyes.

He is originally from Hastings, is likely to frequent both the Hastings and Eastbourne areas and may well be moving between both areas in different vehicles.

An appeal for information about him was issued in December — but he he is still wanted and the £500 reward has now been issued.

Detective Inspector Daniel Dugan of Hastings CID said:

"If you see Searle, do not approach him, just dial 999.

"If you have any information which could help us find him, contact us online or ring 101 quoting Sussex serial 508 of 22/11."
