A violent domestic abuser from Chippenham is wanted on recall to prison.

46-year-old David Dent is wanted on a prison recall in connection with a serious offence.

Wiltshire Police is appealing for the public’s help in locating him – and say he has Chippenham links.

He is a white male, of medium build, with dark brown shaved hair, brown eyes and approximately 5ft 7in tall.

In 2004, he stabbed his pregnant girlfriend in the stomach. He was jailed for eight years.

Last year he repeatedly smacked his ex-girlfriend – a different woman to the previous victim – over the head with a crowbar outside Lackham College. He was jailed for two years and eleven months.

Members of the public are advised not to approach him but to call police immediately on 999 – quoting log 54220071193.
