A REGISTERED sex offender, whom the police, want to trace, was last spotted in Tavistock.

Police are appealing for information regarding Jason Waller who has failed to comply with requirements under the Sexual Offences Act by leaving his Plymouth accommodation without notifying them of his change of address.

Mr Waller, 33, was convicted of indecent assaults in January 2000 and served three years in prison. But since March 2009 he has failed to comply with the terms of his license.

Mr Waller was last seen in Tavistock in March. Police believe he is likely to be living a nomadic lifestyle or being housed by someone, and begging as a source of income.

Police in Devon and Cornwall have exhausted all lines of enquiry regarding Mr Waller and are now appealing to the public to come forward if they have any knowledge about his whereabouts.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the police immediately on 08452 777444 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111, quoting reference ED/09/2243.
