Richmond police are appealing for help in tracing a homeless man who has failed to comply with his notification requirements.

He was last seen in the Camden area in August and is believed to be homeless, but is known to frequent the Brent and Camden area.

Mr Franklin is black, of slim build and 5ft 11in.

Anyone who has seen Mr Franklin or knows his whereabouts is asked to call DC Toni Benn on 020 8721 5895 or 101.
