A warrant has been issued for the arrest of a man who failed to attend court to face a burglary charge.

Robert Keegan, 35, was due to appear before Suffolk Magistrates' Court on Tuesday to face a charge related to an alleged burglary at White Enamel Dental Surgery at Hawthorn Drive in Ipswich.

It is alleged a number of items were stolen from the dental surgery sometime between February 28 and March 2 this year.

Magistrates issued a warrant, not backed for bail, after Keegan, of Peterhouse Close, Ipswich, failed to attend his hearing.
