He was wearing a blue beanie hat with an unknown logo; a khaki green North Face hooded jacket; a grey ‘Venue’ logo t-shirt; black skinny jeans, which had a tear on the left thigh; and black Dr Martin boots.

Ricky is described as six foot two inches tall; with dark hair; a dark-coloured goatee beard; green eyes and a tattoo sleeve down his right arm.

There have been a number of unconfirmed potential sightings of him in Barnstaple, on the M5 at Burnham on Sea, the M5 at Taunton and on the M6 at Junction 11.
