Most wanted appeal issued as five of North East's most elusive criminal suspects remain on loose

Five of the North East's most elusive crime suspects are still at large following a police campaign.

Last month, Northumbria Police issued the faces of 15 elusive suspects who were each wanted in connection with undetected offences across the region. Since then, officers have been inundated with information from the community about addresses where they may each be trying to evade arrest as well as possible sightings.

Now only five remain on the Force's wish-list following the assistance that has been provided from members of the public. The men who remain outstanding are follows:

  • Kieron Lincoln, 28, of Jarrow, wanted in connection with arson
  • Terry March, 41, of Walker, wanted on prison recall
  • Sean Ruffell, 30, of Sunderland, wanted in connection with an assault
  • James Sayers, 20, of Guide Post, Northumberland wanted in connection with a burglary
  • Paul Taylor, 42, of South Shields, wanted in connection with an assault

Anyone with information about any of the people pictured is asked to call 101 quoting the wanted person’s name or via the ‘Tell Us Something’ page of the Force's website. Meanwhile, independent charity Crimestoppers have issued a £1,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest of Terry March.

A spokeswoman for Northumbria Police said: "The 41-year-old, originally of Walker, is wanted on prison recall. He is described as a white male, 6ft of heavy build with short brown hair and a one-inch scar under his right eye. He is known to have links to Walker, Wallsend, North Shields and the Battle Hill area of North Tyneside.

"Anyone who has information about March’s whereabouts, and wants to be eligible for the reward, must report it via Crimestoppers directly by calling 0800 555 111. You can pass on information to Crimestoppers anonymously."
