POLICE are looking for a wanted Bradford man, who officers say is very distinctive due to the fact that he has half a right ear, in connection with a serious offence.

Dale Poppleton is described as a white male with a medium build and 6ft1 tall.

The 41-year-old is thought to have connections to not only the Bradford area but the North of England.

He was last seen in East Yorkshire. 

"Extensive enquiries have been carried out to locate Poppleton but he is deliberately evading police," said a West Yorkshire Police spokesperson.

"Anyone who sees Poppleton is asked to not approach him and call Police immediately on 999 or 101 or use the live chat facility at www.westyorkshire.police.uk/contactus quoting crime reference 13230018345

"Information can always be given anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or online."
