A MAN who has been charged with drugs offences is wanted by police after failing to appear in court.

Sam Wilkinson, whose last known address was Chertsey Rise in Stevenage, was due to attend Cambridge Crown Court on March 15 but did not show up.

The 24-year-old is accused of possessing class A drugs with intent to supply and breaching his court order.

He was arrested in August last year after a car was stopped in Stevenage High Street, and was charged in November.

Police have now launched a wanted appeal and believe Wilkinson is in the Stevenage area.

Anyone who has seen him or knows of his whereabouts should contact the police on non-emergency number 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
