A FORMER prison inmate from St Austell who was wanted by the police has been located and jailed again.

Mark Oversby, 34, was sent back to prison by magistrates for 30 weeks on Friday (December 6) after admitting he breached his post-release licence conditions.

A few days before, Devon and Cornwall Police had issued a wanted appeal for Oversby when he failed to adhere to the conditions.

In the appeal, police described him as 6ft 3ins tall, of medium build and with dark brown hair.

At the time, police said that anyone who saw him should not approach him but should call 999.

Oversby was located and he subsequently appeared at Bodmin Magistrates Court where he pleaded guilty to the charge against him.
