Police searching for a wanted man are now offering a reward of up to £1,000.
Detectives are hunting Northumberland man Aaron Stephenson who is wanted in connection with an investigation into drug supply and a crown court warrant.
Efforts have been ongoing to locate the 27-year-old with a number of addresses searched as enquiries continue.
And now officers leading the search have said that anyone who provides information that leads to his arrest and charge could receive a reward of up to £1,000.
The reward has been offered by the independent charity Crimestoppers who can be contacted anonymously.
Detective Chief Inspector Martin Brooks, of Northumbria Police, said: “We have made extensive enquiries in a bid to trace Aaron Stephenson and our efforts will continue until he is brought into custody.
"He is wanted in connection with a number of serious offences and we are asking members of the community who may know his whereabouts or who have recently seen him to come forward.
“Someone out there will know something and that may be the small detail that helps lead to an arrest.
“I would also appeal directly to Aaron to come forward and hand himself in and do the right thing.”
Stephenson, of Woodhorn Road, Newbiggin, is described as white, around 5ft 10ins tall, with short brown hair and of medium build.
Ruth McNee, Regional Manager at Crimestoppers, said: “If anyone has information on Aaron’s whereabouts please remember that you can stay 100% anonymous by calling our charity or by using our simple and secure anonymous online form.
“No one will ever know you contacted us."
Stephenson, or anyone who believes they may have seen him, is asked to contact Crimestoppers or police.
