ESSEX Police have renewed an appeal to locate a man who was last known to be in Basildon.

The force is searching for Kenny Hughes, 33, who is wanted on recall to prison.

An original appeal from the police was put out earlier this month, after Hughes was last known to be in Basildon on July 16.

He has connections to Wickford, Luton, Southampton, Peterborough and Northampton.

A spokesman for Essex Police said: “Officers are continuing enquiries to locate Kenny Hughes.

“If you’ve seen Kenny Hughes or if you know where he is, please contact us as soon as possible.

“You can let us know by submitting a report on our website or by using our online live chat service which is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

“Alternatively, you can call us on 101.”
