A former boxer, who failed to appear at court to answer a harassment charge, is being sought by police.

William Issac failed to show up to Croydon Crown Court on April 17 and now police want the public's help in tracing him.

Issac, aged 44, is charged with harassment and, althought he has no known address, it is believed he may live in the Worcester Park area.

Police said anyone who has seen him should immediately call 999. Anyone with information about where he may be call Sutton’s Wanted Offenders Team on 020 8649 0595. Alternatively, call the charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
