POLICE are renewing an appeal for help to trace a convicted distraction burglar and rogue trader wanted for questioning over incidents in South Gloucestershire.

John McCann, 43, is believed by Avon and Somerset Police to be able to assist with enquiries in relation to a number of burglaries and incidents in the county, as well as Weston-Super-Mare and Sedgemoor.

Mr McCann was released from MJP Guys Marsh on January 15, and is now also wanted by Thames Valley Police to be recalled to prison for breaching his licence conditions.

Officers believe he is living somewhere in Somerset and have asked for anyone who recognises him or knows of his whereabouts to call 101, quoting reference number 5216096988.
