A Swindon man is wanted after disappearing ahead of a crown court hearing.

James Metcalfe, 33, vacated his address in Pembroke Street after he was charged with being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs on 30 May.

He was due to appear at Swindon Crown Court on 8 August, but failed to turn up. Now police are hunting him down.

A spokesperson for the force said: “Since this time, he has left his property and his whereabouts are unknown.

“He is described as a white male, approximately 5ft 4ins tall. James has green eyes, and it is believed he may now have a clean-shaven head and be wearing a baseball cap.

“Do you recognise the man in this photo? Can you help us in locating him?

“Anyone with information should contact police immediately on 999, or 101 in a non-emergency quoting reference number 54230055048.

Alternatively, call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 where information can be left anonymously.”
