Officers have stated that recent enquiries suggest Mr Tait, originally from the Ammanford area in Carmarthenshire, Wales, may now be living in the Bideford area of Devon.
The force is urging anyone who recognises him or who has information on his whereabouts to contact them as soon as possible. Anyone with details has been asked to call 101, quoting reference BRC469114.
A previous appeal in December 2025 had suggested that Mr Tait may have been in the Derbyshire area, but those enquiries did not produce any confirmed sightings or leads.
Who Is Alan Tait?
According to the police statement, Mr Tait is a 69-year-old man from Ammanford who is being sought in connection with what Dyfed-Powys Police have described as a harassment offence.
At this stage, specific details about the alleged offence have not been publicly released. Neither the nature of the alleged harassment nor information about any victims has been disclosed in official police appeals, and no charges have yet been confirmed through public court records. This means the exact circumstances of the case remain unclear in public sources.
Why Police Want to Speak to Him
Police often issue public appeals in cases where:
-
an individual has failed to attend a police station when requested,
-
there is a risk to public safety, or
-
officers require information in connection with an investigation.
In this instance, officers have emphasised that Mr Tait should not be approached by members of the public. Anyone who sees him is asked to call police rather than intervene directly.
Area and Enquiries
Bideford — a coastal market town in North Devon, England, has been highlighted as a potential location following recent investigative activity.
The movement of individuals between Wales and neighbouring English counties is not unusual given transport links in the region, but police resources are being focused where sightings and intelligence suggest Mr Tait may currently be residing.
What You Should Do If You Have Information
If you think you have seen Alan Tait or know where he might be, Dyfed-Powys Police have asked the public to:
-
Contact them via the non-emergency number 101, and
-
quote reference BRC469114.
If there is an immediate concern for safety, members of the public are reminded to call 999.
Community Impact
While details of the underlying harassment offence have not been made public, appeals of this nature often prompt concern in local communities. Police communication emphasises public safety and encourages cooperation to aid the investigation.
Dyfed-Powys Police and partner agencies continue to investigate and coordinate enquiries across county boundaries, reflecting the cross-regional nature of the case.
