Crimestoppers, the independent crime-fighting charity, has issued a substantial £1,000 reward for any information that results in the arrest and subsequent charging of Corey Fawsitt, a wanted individual currently evading authorities in the Midlands region.
Extensive Police Search Underway
Nottinghamshire Police have confirmed that Corey Fawsitt, aged 23 and of no fixed abode, is a prime suspect in a series of alleged criminal activities. Despite conducting what they describe as 'extensive lines of inquiry,' officers have been unable to locate him, with reports indicating he has deliberately 'gone into hiding' to avoid capture.
Details of the Alleged Offences
Fawsitt is wanted in connection with a total of 23 alleged offences. These include more than 15 separate shop thefts, two distinct robberies, and multiple public order violations. The criminal spree targeted ten different stores across Nottingham between December 7, 2025, and February 4, 2026, causing significant disruption and concern within the local community.
Official Statements from Authorities
Neighbourhood Police Inspector Paul Ferguson of Nottinghamshire Police issued a stern warning, stating, "Fawsitt is well aware that we are looking for him and has chosen to go into hiding. Let me remind you, that housing a wanted suspect is also a serious criminal offence and you can be arrested for assisting an offender."
Inspector Ferguson further explained the collaboration with Crimestoppers, noting, "That is why we are working with Crimestoppers to ensure that he is caught. The charity offers complete anonymity so you can receive the reward without your name ever being provided to the police. We hope this cash incentive will ensure that he is finally caught."
Crimestoppers' Role and Anonymity Guarantee
Lydia Patsalides, Regional Manager for the East Midlands at Crimestoppers, emphasized the charity's commitment to supporting the police investigation. "This offending has had a major impact on the city and we are happy to support Nottinghamshire Police with their investigation," she said.
Patsalides highlighted the unique anonymity feature of Crimestoppers, assuring potential informants, "You can tell our charity what you know without ever giving your name or speaking to the police. Your information could help stop further offending and protect your community."
Reward Conditions and Duration
The £1,000 reward is specifically available for information that leads directly to an arrest and charge. It is crucial to note that information passed directly to the police will not qualify for this reward; only tips provided anonymously through Crimestoppers are eligible.
This financial incentive will remain active for a period of three months from the announcement date, urging the public to come forward with any relevant details that could aid in apprehending the suspect.
How to Provide Information
Individuals with knowledge about Corey Fawsitt's whereabouts or activities are encouraged to contact Crimestoppers anonymously. This can be done through their dedicated online portal or by calling the freephone number 0800 555 111. All communications are handled with strict confidentiality to protect the identity of the informant.
