A police spokesman said: “He has links to Wigan, Warrington, Stoke-on-Trent, Leicestershire, Newark and Essex, and it is believed he may also have links to the travelling community.

"Members of the public are asked not to approach Adams and instead contact Derbyshire police, quoting reference seven of December 14.”
