Detectives seek public help tracing sex offender Thomas Todd

Thomas Todd (27) also failed to appear at court in July and officers have been searching South Yorkshire and Humberside.

Todd, originally from Doncaster, was sentenced to 20 months in prison for sexual assault and battery in 2013.

He moved from a property in Rotherham and failed to notify police of his new address, which is part of register requirements running until 2023.

Det Sgt Chris Allott said: “Todd is fully aware of the requirements he is subject to, but despite that he failed to notify us of the change in address.

“He knows this has resulted in him being actively sought by officers and we need anyone who has seen him recently, or who knows where he is, to contact us.”

Todd is described as slim, about 5ft 7ins, with ginger hair and a number of tattoos including a woman’s name on his neck. He has links to Doncaster, Grimsby, Cleethorpes and Skegness.

Det Sgt Allott added: “It is really important that anyone with information comes forward so we can make contact with Todd and ensure he is appropriately managed once again.

“If you see Todd, call 999. You can also provide information to 101 quoting incident number 552 of August 5.

“Alternatively, you can speak to Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
