An appeal has been launched to find a wanted man who is believed to be ‘evading arrest.’
Northumbria Police are searching for David Wilson, 45, from Sunderland, who is wanted on emergency prison recall and is understood to be actively evading arrest.
Wilson has strong links to the Sunderland area – particularly to Fulwell, Plains Farm and the city centre.
Extensive searches to locate him have been ongoing across the region.
Police have appealed to the public today (Tuesday) to help trace him, and urged anyone with information to come forward.
A spokesperson for Northumbria Police said: “Members of the public are also reminded that harbouring a wanted person is an offence and those involved could face prosecution.
