The South East Regional Organised Crime Unit (SEROCU) is searching for a man wanted in connection with attempts to get mobile phones into a West Sussex prison.

Nicholas Camilleri, aged 37 of no fixed abode, is wanted in connection with offences which happened between the 14 and 17 July, 2017, and 31 October and 1 December, 2017.

Between these dates, there were attempts to get contraband items, including mobile phones and phone accessories, in to HMP Ford in Arundel.

Camilleri is described as around 6ft tall with brown eyes, dark hair and stubble on his face.

He has a scar under his left eye on his cheekbone and a number of tattoos, including the word ‘taker’ on the right-side of his neck along with three flowers in the same area.

On his left arm he also has a tattoo saying ‘I have nothing to lose but everything to live for’.

Camilleri has links with South London, Brighton and other areas in Sussex, and Scotland.

He is said to have been evading capture since March 2020 and now officers would like the public’s help to trace him.

He is known to have been in Brighton and has strong links to south London and Scotland.

Anybody with information or who knows where he is, is asked to call 101 quoting Operation Ford.

If seen, people should contact police immediately on 999 and not approach him.

Alternatively, call the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
