Police want to send Hove man back to prison

A Hove man is wanted by police who are trying to find him to send him back to prison.

Sussex Police reissued its appeal for help in trying to trace Jason Tilley, 22, who was released from prison on licence at the end of May.

He was jailed for 30 months in August last year for making threats to kill.

Since his release just over a month ago, he has breached the terms of his parole, according to Surrey and Sussex Probation Trust.

Sussex Police released a photograph taken when he was arrested showing him with medium-length red hair. The force said that his hair was now shoulder length and the red dye was only on the tips.

Tilley was described as 6ft 4in tall and of medium build with blue eyes.

A police spokesman said: “Tilley may appear to be unkempt and associates with street drinkers in Brighton and Hove.

“He also has contacts in the Worthing and Sompting areas and has been known to abuse illicit drugs and alcohol.”

Anyone who sees Tilley is warned not to approach him but to dial 999. Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to call Sussex Police on 101.
