Public urged to help locate wanted man in Reading and Didcot over serious offences

Thames Valley Police has issued an appeal for public assistance in tracing Kaine Simmonds, who is wanted in connection with several serious offences in Didcot.

Simmonds, 25, is sought in relation to stalking, burglary, and assault charges, along with allegations of threats to kill, vehicle theft, and criminal damage.

The offences are linked to an ongoing investigation into the stalking of a woman between June and September of this year.

He is described as a black man, standing at approximately 6ft 3ins with a slim build, short black afro-style hair, brown eyes, a thin black moustache, and a black goatee.

Simmonds is known to frequent areas including Reading, Didcot, Purley-on-Thames, and Tilehurst.

Detective Constable Michael Hopcroft, from the Domestic Abuse Investigation Unit, emphasized the seriousness of the offences and urged anyone with information on Simmonds' whereabouts to come forward.

Hopcroft stated, "Even seemingly insignificant information could aid us in locating him and bringing him into custody."

If you encounter Simmonds, Thames Valley Police advises not to approach him directly. Instead, contact emergency services on 999 immediately.
