A MAN with connections to Middlewich is wanted on warrant by police in Telford on suspicion of breaching sex offenders register requirements.

Benjamin ‘Ben’ Watkins, 33, from Telford in Shropshire was due to appear before magistrates on November 23 for a public order offence, and is also suspected of being in breach of sex offenders register requirements to notify police of any address his is staying at.

He is known to have connections in Middlewich and the wider Cheshire area, and is described as white, about six feet tall and of slim build with blue eyes.

A West Mercia Police appeal said: “If you have seen Ben Watkins or have had any contact with him in recent days, please contact Police on 101.

“You can also contact West Mercia Offender Management Unit by dialling 101 and asking for extension 5842. All calls will be treated in confidence.

“Alternatively if you want to give information but don't want to give your name you can call the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or use their anonymous online form at www.crimestoppers.org.uk.”

The appeal was initially issued on Thursday, December 22 and has now been updated.
