BBC Rogue Traders' Dan Penteado wanted by police
Published: 14th Jun 2012 18:43:52
A presenter on the BBC consumer affairs programme Rogue Traders is wanted by police after he failed to appear in court on Wednesday.
A warrant was issued for Dan Penteado's arrest after he did not show up at Bournemouth Magistrates Court.
Mr Penteado, 40, from Westbourne, Bournemouth, is accused of receiving more than £24,000 of housing and council tax benefit while at the BBC.
Since 2001 he has been the sidekick of Rogue Traders star Matt Allwright.
He is regularly seen in leathers riding a motorbike as the two presenters confront suspect tradesmen.
A spokesman for the BBC said it was unable to comment on the matter as it related to a pending court case.
