An arrest warrant has been issued for a 19-year-old man accused of robbery who flew to the Netherlands instead of attending court.
Ramsford Duah, of Selby Close, Colchester, has denied a charge of robbery and was due to appear at Ipswich Crown Court on Wednesday, August 21.
During the hearing it was heard he had flown to the Netherlands, without any return date given and no contact with his representatives.
Judge Martyn Levett issued a warrant for his arrest.
