Police release image of wanted Congleton man

Police are appealing for the public’s help in tracing a man wanted for an assault.

Anthony Heathcote (36) is believed to be in the Congleton area.

Inspector Steve Griffiths said: “We have reason to suspect he may be committing crimes while he remains outstanding and would urge anyone who has seen this man or knows of his whereabouts not to approach him directly but to contact police on 999.

“We are making numerous enquiries to find Heathcote and will not stop until he is found.

“Anyone who is harbouring Heathcote faces possible criminal charges themselves as harbouring carries up to seven years imprisonment. I would urge them to contact us to avoid coming to our attention.”

Anyone with information about his whereabouts can also call police on 101.

Alternatively information can be given anonymously by contacting Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
