POLICE are appealing for help to find a man who skipped a court appearance.

Luke Smith, from Southampton, is wanted after failing to attend two courts in Northamptonshire.

The 29-year-old was due to appear at Northampton Crown Court for breach of a suspended sentence, and at Corby Magistrates' Court on a charge of assault.

He has links to the Brackley area of Northamptonshire and is believed to travel regularly between there and Southampton.

Anyone with information about where he is should contact Northamptonshire Police on 101.
