Wanted: William Robert Leech, who may

be in the Morecambe area.

Hot on the heels of news of a successful arrest of a wanted man comes an appeal from York police, who are hoping the public can help to locate a wanted man who may be in the Morecambe area.

William Robert Leech, aged 30, of Barfield Road, York, is wanted for recall to prison for breaching the terms of his licence.

Leech is white, around 6ft tall with short black hair. He has friends in Morecambe and it’s believed that he is currently staying in the area.

Detective Sergeant Mark Jackson, of York CID, said: “I am appealing for anyone who knows Leech’s whereabouts or anyone who sees him to call the police or Crimestoppers.

“There is no suggestion that he poses a danger to the public, however he should not be approached if sighted.

“We need information about where he is, so I would be grateful if the public could keep an eye out for him and let us know if they see him.

“The sooner he is back in custody the better.”

• Anyone who knows where William Leech is or sees him, is urged to contact DS Mark Jackson, of York CID, on 0845 60 60 24 7. Alternatively, Crimestoppers can be contacted anonymously on 0800 555 111.
