Hampshire police made him a wanted man, and circulated an appeal to the public to help find him last week.

Wilson has several tattoos, including ‘Robbie’ on his right arm, ‘Char’ on his neck, and a rose artwork with ‘Jenna’ on his left leg.

Police warned people not to approach Wilson if they saw him.

Instead, they were advised to call 999.
