Police searching for a criminal who is wanted in connection with a burglary is appealing for the public’s help.

Issuing an urgent appeal for Charlie Gallon, 22, Northumbria Police has called on members of the public to provide information and for the 22-year-old to turn himself in.

Gallon is wanted in connection with a burglary at a newsagent in Blyth on August 13.

Officers have been searching several associated addresses in a bid to find Gallon, so he can be interviewed in connection with the break-in.

He is known to have links to North Tyneside, Cramlington and Blyth.

Police officers are now asking anybody who believes they have seen him – or know where he’s residing – to come forward.

Inspector Nick Went, of Northumbria Police, said: “The best outcome for everyone is for Gallon to hand himself into the nearest police station as soon as possible.

“We are carrying out a range of enquiries in a bid to locate him and ensure he can be interviewed in connection with our ongoing investigation.

“I would today ask anybody who knows him or thinks they know where he is, to get in touch. I’d also remind everyone that it is a criminal offence to harbour a wanted fugitive, which could result in a custodial term.

“We do not want anybody to get into trouble on his account, so please let us know if you have information that can lead us to his whereabouts.”

Gallon, or anyone who has information about where he may be, is asked to contact police via the ‘Tell Us Something’ page of Northumbria Police’s website or by calling 101, quoting crime number 095061S/22.
