POLICE are hunting for a man they want to question over a number of burglaries in Hampshire and beyond.

Detectives want to speak to Simon Peter Knights about three burglaries in Hampshire since June.

They also want to quiz him over seven burglaries in Sussex and one each in Kent and Essex.

Cash, jewellery and electrical items have been stolen during the break-ins.

DC Pippa Hannard of Sussex Police, who are leading the investigation, said: "We need to speak to Mr Knights about the offences in June in Sussex but have not been able to trace him so far.

"We believe that he uses the rail network to get around so people might see him on trains along the south coast. He has links to Essex so could have returned there but we need anyone who sees him to contact us as we do not know where he is.

"If you have any information about where he is or where he has been, please get in touch."

Mr Knights is white, about 5' 8" and has ginger hair and blue eyes.

Anyone with information should email 101@sussex.pnn.police.uk quoting serial 840 of 16/06, call 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
