POLICE have appealed for help to find a man wanted in connection with an aggravated burglary in during which a pregnant woman was injured.

An Avon and Somerset Police spokesperson said wanted man Kyle Purnell could be in Somerset or the wider South West.

He is known to have links to Gloucestershire and Wiltshire as well as the Avon and Somerset policing area.

The 27-year-old is wanted in connection with an aggravated burglary in Bath earlier this month. A pregnant woman, known to him, was injured in the incident.

Purnell is white, 6ft 3ins tall and of medium build. He has blue eyes, short fair hair and a goatee beard. He speaks with a West Country accent.

He has a number of tattoos, including a heart behind his right ear and two stars on the left side of his neck, although these may have been covered by a female figure.

The public are advised not to approach Purnell if they see him but to call 999 and provide the call handler with the reference 5220211191.

Anyone with information about his whereabouts is asked to call 101 quoting the same reference.
