Police are trying to trace a 52-year-old man who is wanted on a recall to prison after he breached his home detention curfew.

Keith Bowden was sentenced to two-and-a-half years in prison for burglary by Truro Crown Court and was released on licence from HMP Channings Wood on January 4. Bowden was recalled to prison by the National Offender Management Service on February 29.
