Urgent appeal issued to track down wanted man in Greater Manchester

Officers have issued an urgent appeal to track down a wanted man in Greater Manchester. Police say Gavin Barker was due to appear in court, but failed to appear in the dock.

The 36-year-old has links to Wigan, Greater Manchester Police says. The force has released a photo of Barker on social media this morning (June 21) alongside an appeal to find him.

In the image, Barker can be seen with short, dark hair and a tattoo on his neck. Anyone who sees Barker or has information on his whereabouts is urged to come forward as soon as possible.
