A JUDGE has an ordered an arrest warrant for a man who ransacked an iStore in Colchester's city centre.

Andrew Mohammed had been due for sentencing at Ipswich Crown Court on Thursday after admitting one charge of burglary.

But after Mohammed failing to turn up to the hearing, Judge Emma Peters issued what is known as a bench warrant, which allows officers to arrest someone in relation to criminal proceedings.

Mohammed, 43, of no fixed address, will be sentenced at a later date.
