Victoria Police are appealing to the public for assistance in locating 46-year-old Peter Tsimiklis, who is currently wanted on warrant.

Tsimiklis is sought for allegedly failing to appear in court and for breaching court orders and bail conditions.

He is described as approximately 188cm tall, with a slim build and short greying hair. He also walks with a limp, as his right leg has been amputated from the knee.

Investigators believe Tsimiklis may be travelling in a distinctive purple Audi sedan, bearing the registration plates BID 812, and is known to frequent several areas across Melbourne and regional Victoria, including Malvern, Bentleigh, Narre Warren and Lakes Entrance.

Police have released images of both Tsimiklis and the vehicle in the hope that someone may recognise him or provide information on his current whereabouts.

Anyone who sees Tsimiklis or has information about his location is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or submit a confidential report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.
