Police are on the hunt for a wanted Newcastle man who has breached a court order.
Northumbria Police is appealing for help to find Patrick Blacklock, who is avoiding officers despite knowing that he is wanted.
A number of searches have been carried out at addresses across Newcastle and North Tyneside in a bid to track down the 34-year-old.
Detective Constable Vicki Noble is now asking members of the public who know his whereabouts to come forward with information.
She said: "We are carrying out a range of enquiries in a bid to locate Blacklock and we are now asking the public for their help.
"We would like to reiterate that it is a criminal offence to harbour someone who is evading arrest and we do not want anybody to get into trouble on his account.
"The best outcome for everyone would be for Blacklock to hand himself in to police so we can speak to him regarding the alleged breach of a court order."
Anyone with information is asked to contact police via the 'Tell Us Something' page of the Northumbria Police website.
Alternatively you can phone 101 quoting reference 0251517.
