Detectives from West Midlands Police have turned to the public for help, adding five new faces to their roster of most wanted individuals. The force has issued urgent appeals to trace the suspects, who are wanted for offences ranging from alleged wounding to prison recall.
Public Urged to Dial 999 if They Spot Wanted Men
The latest police tactic involves publishing images and details of suspects they have been unable to locate through常规 investigations. Officers believe that public pressure can be a powerful tool to flush out individuals on the run and encourage them to hand themselves in. The appeals provide specific contact methods, including an immediate call to 999 for some of the men considered a priority.
Meet the New Faces on the Wanted List
The five individuals newly added to the West Midlands Police most wanted list are spread across the region. The public is asked to study their photographs carefully.
Matthew Robinson, aged 38, is wanted on suspicion of breaching a restraining order. He is known to have links to the Smethwick area. Information on his whereabouts should be reported by calling 101 or using the force's Live Chat, quoting reference 20/462874.25.
Callum Milbourne, a 26-year-old from Coventry, is wanted on recall to prison. He has a distinctive neck tattoo and also has connections to Warwickshire. The public is instructed to call 999 immediately if he is seen, quoting log number 2380 of January 2.
David Lloyd, 50, from Wolverhampton, is sought on suspicion of wounding. Anyone who sees Lloyd should not approach him but should dial 999, quoting reference 20/108661/26.
Simon Stack, aged 44, is wanted on recall to prison and on suspicion of theft. Information can be passed to police via 101 or Live Chat, using reference 20/414092/25.
Martin Johnson, 35, is suspected of involvement in shop thefts. Anyone who knows where he is should contact officers on 101 or via Live Chat, quoting crime reference 20/479591/25.
How to Help the Police Investigation
West Midlands Police have reiterated that information can also be given completely anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. The force emphasises that any detail, no matter how small it may seem, could be crucial in locating these individuals and assisting ongoing investigations.
This public appeal forms a key part of the force's strategy to trace elusive suspects. By sharing their images and descriptions widely, detectives hope to significantly narrow the net and bring the investigations closer to a resolution.
