Avon and Somerset Police in Bath are appealing for help to trace a man they want to talk to about a burglary at a house in the Foxhill area of the city.
Detectives are asking anyone who sees Jamie Skipp, 29, or who knows where he is, to contact them as a matter of urgency on 999.
They are however stressing that Mr Skipp is not a risk to the public.
Any calls regarding the whereabouts of Skipp should quote the crime reference number 12158/14.
Det Insp Dom Graham of Bath’s Priority Crime Team said: “We’re taking the unusual step of issuing this appeal and naming Jamie Skipp because we need the public’s help to find him. He knows he is wanted by the police and is avoiding arrest.”
