A HOLYHEAD man has been urged to "hand yourself in" after two weeks of evading arrest.

North Wales Police said it wishes to speak with James Robert Owen in relation to a number of offences in Holyhead. He is also wanted by the probation service.

The force said it believes Mr Owen is being helped to avoid being arrested and warned that those assisting him could face arrested themselves.

"We continue to look for James Robert Owen who is wanted for numerous offences in Holyhead, in addition to recall to prison," a post on the NWP Anglesey Facebook page said.

"Regrettably, we’ve received information that he is being assisted to evade the criminal justice system. We’d like to warn those individuals that this is an offence and if you’re found to be helping, this could lead to being arrested yourself.

"This is a direct appeal to James. Please hand yourself in."

Anyone with information has been asked to contact police on 101, call Crimestoppers anonymously, or use the North Wales Police web chat.
