Officers have released a photo of a wanted North Tyneside man they are trying to locate in a public appeal for information.
Ryan McVeigh, 28, of Wallsend, is wanted in connection with an allegation of fraud and enquiries are ongoing to locate him. Northumbria Police said officers believe that McVeigh knows he is wanted and is actively evading arrest so issued an appeal in a bid to find him.
Police believe he may be living a transient lifestyle and could be relying on known associates to keep him under the radar. The force also warned the public that it is a criminal offence to harbour a wanted fugitive and said it could result in imprisonment.
