Police release image of man with 'connections to Scotland' who skipped court

Police in England have issued an appeal to Scots after a 38-year-old failed to appear in court.

Officers in Merseyside believe that Andrew Armstrong, 38, could be in Fife after fleeing from a mandated court appearance on drug charges. Armstrong was due to appear at Liverpool Crown Court in connection with the discovery of a drug plantation in Birkdale, Southport in 2017, the Daily Record reports.

Merseyside Police issued an appeal to track him down in September last year, believing he had links to the local area. A further appeal was issued in February – and as of this week the force has received intel to suggest that he may have links north of the border.
