Detectives in the West Midlands have added new mugshots to their most wanted list, launching public appeals to locate suspects wanted for alleged offences including knife possession, drug crimes, and theft.
Police urge public to call 999 immediately
West Midlands Police has issued a series of recent appeals to track down individuals they are struggling to find. Officers often turn to the public for help when traditional methods fail, and this approach has proven effective in flushing out alleged criminals. While some suspects are arrested quickly, others can remain on the most wanted list for months or even years.
The force is now asking anyone with information to come forward to assist in bringing these suspects in for questioning.
William Coney
William Coney, 27, is the latest addition to the most wanted list. Police say he is wanted on recall to prison, which may mean he has breached conditions of his release. The force added: 'If you see him, please call 101 quoting 20/14152/26.'
Andrew Montgomery
Andrew Montgomery, from Birmingham, is wanted after failing to appear at court on a charge of possessing a blade in public. Police have urged anyone who sees him or has information about his whereabouts to contact them on 999, quoting crime number 20BE/16336/25.
Edmond Meta
Detectives are also trying to find Edmond Meta, a 38-year-old from Walsall. He is wanted for 'failure to appear at court over suspected drugs offences and we need to find him,' police said. Anyone who sees him or has information should call 999, quoting 20/294323/23.
Daniel Hwyl
Daniel Hwyl, 44, from West Bromwich, has also been added to the most wanted list. He is wanted after failing to appear at court for a theft offence. West Midlands Police said: 'If you know where he is or have any information about his whereabouts then call 101 quoting 20/13576/26.'
Sarah Simmonds
Police have launched an appeal to find Sarah Simmonds, 47, who is wanted on suspicion of multiple thefts. The force said: 'If you see her call 999 immediately quoting crime reference number 20/186330/26.'
