Police in Shropshire today renewed appeals for information concerning the whereabouts of a man they have been trying to trace for several weeks.

Man sought by police spotted in Telford

Steven Ronald Bebb is wanted by police after being recalled to prison for breaching the conditions of his licence. They also want to speak to him about an alleged assault in Shrewsbury on June 27 in which a woman received cuts and bruises.

Since releasing Bebb's picture just over a week ago, several reports have been received with helpful information but he has still not been traced.

A West Mercia Police spokesperson said today: "We have decided to reissue Bebb's photograph and to renew the appeal for information following recent reports that he has been seen near Wellington railway station and in other parts of Telford."

Bebb, whose nickname is "Finney", was serving a sentence for house burglary when released on licence in February. He has since been recalled to prison for breaching several conditions of his licence.

The police spokesperson added: "We believe Bebb may also be able to help us with our investigation into the alleged assault.

"We are appealing for any information concerning his whereabouts to be forwarded to Shrewsbury CID on 0300 333 3000. Information can also be given to the anonymous Crimestoppers number, 0800 555 111."
