Man who stole charity Christmas shoe boxes wanted by police

A former thief who was known to steal anything he could get his hands on is wanted again by police.

David Darcy, from Wallasey, is wanted by officers on warrant for breaching a court order in relation to failing to comply with the requirements of a community order. The 37-year-old has previously been jailed for a string of burglaries which included breaking into homes, schools and businesses.

Previously described as a "prolific thief" by Judge Andrew Menary, QC, Darcy was sentenced to 28 months in prison in August 2019.

They stole keys for the building and a forklift truck, 20 bottles of red wine, one worth £150, and a USB stick containing wedding photos. Now one of the brothers is wanted again.
