Fugitive Car Thief on the Run After Bailing on Trial

Calvin Zaxton, 37, from Reading, has vanished after skipping his trial over a string of car thefts in Salisbury. Charged in February with five counts of vehicle theft linked to a local dealership, Zaxton failed to appear in court in April and has been dodging police ever since.

Has He Changed His Identity?

Authorities believe Zaxton may have changed his name to stay under the radar. He is described as a black man, around 6ft tall, of average build, with short black hair and a trimmed beard.

Police Seek Public’s Help to Nab Zaxton

Officers are working hand in hand with Thames Valley Police to track him down — but they need your eyes.
