Police hunting for a 70-year-old who has been on the run for 14 months now believe he could be in Cyprus.

John Trevor Dodds was previously convicted and jailed for conspiracy to defraud and was recalled to prison in January last year after breaching his license conditions.

However after extensive enquiries officers are still yet to locate the 70-year-old.
