A WARRANT has been issued for the arrest of a 27-year-old Berkeley man who admitted breaching a non-molestation order but failed to turn up at court.

George King of Fishers Road, Berkeley was due to attend Cheltenham Magistrates' Court to be dealt with for entering a property in Hilltop Close, Stroud on October 13 and contacting a woman, breaching a non-molestation order.

But when he failed to attend court, magistrates ordered that a warrant be issued for his arrest, not backed by bail.
