Police are hunting a 54-year-old man who is wanted in connection with burglary, theft of a motor vehicle and recall to prison.

Officers intend to arrest and question him once he has been located.

Diggle is described as being white, 6’1” tall, of proportionate build, with brown/grey hair and a beard.

He has tattoos of a nude woman on his right arm and the name ‘Diane’ on both arms.

He also has tattoos on both sides of his neck and throat and wears earrings in both ears

Police are appealing for anyone who has had recent contact with him to come forward and assist by calling Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555111.

Anyone seeing Diggle is advised to call police on 999 and not to approach him directly.
