Robber wanted on recall to prison
A convicted robber wanted on recall to prison could have returned to Wolverhampton where he carried out the raid on a convenience store.
Carl Ansell, aged 39, burst into Spar in Birmingham New Road, Lanesfield, armed with an imitation gun before snatching £500 worth of cigarettes. He was convicted in 2013 and jailed for five years.
The robber, previously of Bilston, is known to have lived in Maesteg, Wales, since his release from prison.

"The 39-year-old, from Caerau, Maesteg, is wanted on recall to prison.
"Ansell originates from Wolverhampton, West Midlands, and is believed to still have links with the area."
