Last year a European Arrest Warrant was issued for Mr Acklom, and he was believed to be at large in Spain having been released from a Spanish prison over a £200,000 property fraud.
Avon and Somerset Police said its "absolute priority is to locate and arrest Acklom in connection with a high-value fraud".
