Wanted Russell Pope could be in Bristol - call 999 if you see him

Police are stepping up their appeal to track down a wanted man with a distinctive tattoo.

Russell Pope, from south Bristol, is being hunted by police after failing to comply with the conditions of his prison licence.

Officers have warned the public not to approach the 34-year-old, and to call 999 immediately if they spot him.

He is described as white, about six feet tall and of medium build with brown hair and brown eyes.

An Avon and Somerset Police spokesperson said: "We're renewing our appeal for help finding wanted man Russell Pope.

"The 34-year-old from south Bristol is wanted on recall to prison.

"He has a distinctive tattoo on the right side of his neck.

"If you see him, don’t approach him but call 999 immediately, providing the call handler with the reference 5220217717.

If you have any other information which could help officers to trace him ring 101 quoting the same reference."

You can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers 100 per cent anonymously on 0800 555 111 or via their Anonymous Online Form.
