His case was adjourned last month for a pre-sentence report but, during the latest hearing, a probation service representative reported Collett had not shown up for his appointment, and the report had not been completed. 

After a court clerk confirmed there had no contact with Collett, the chairman of the magistrates bench, Andrew Greenway, issued a warrant.
