He is serving a sentence of seven years and four months in prison for supplying Class A drugs, imposed at Plymouth Crown Court in September 2014.

PC Lewis Dines from Chichester Investigations said “We do not believe that Fitzgerald poses any direct physical risk to members of the public, but we would like anyone who sees him to not approach him, but to call 999 immediately. He is local to the Plymouth area and also has connections in the Hackney, Finsbury, Dalston and Clapton areas of North and East London, where we believe he may have headed to. It is not thought he has any associates in Sussex”
