Officers say Steve Baxter, 52, who is "considered to be a dangerous individual," has connections with the resort and may have travelled to the Fylde Coast.

A murder inquiry was launched after the body of Simon Clark was found at a caravan park in Pendine near Tenby on Friday September 28.

Police say they want to speak to Baxter, who is also known as Steve Rowley, Wayne Tidy and William Tidy, about the man's death.

He is 5’5” and has tattoos on his forearms - the name Chez and entwined circles on his left arm and a serpent on his right arm.

He is known to have connections in the West Wales, South Wales, the South West and the North of England, including Blackpool, Rotherham and Doncaster.
