Detectives in the West Midlands have issued a series of new appeals for suspects they are trying to locate. Additional mugshots have been added to the force's most wanted list, featuring alleged criminals that West Midlands Police (WMP) have not yet been able to apprehend.
Authorities hope that by publicizing these names and faces, they can expedite the process of bringing these individuals into custody. The latest group includes a man suspected of committing a serious assault.
Public appeals often result in wanted individuals being quickly located by officers, but some remain on the most wanted list for months or even years. Members of the public are urged to examine the images and provide any information they may have.
James Moreton
James Moreton, 34, from Coventry, is the latest addition to WMP's most wanted list. Police say he is wanted on recall to prison, which may indicate a breach of conditions associated with his release. Anyone who sees him is asked to call 999, quoting reference 20/20956/25.
Mark Bolton
Mark Bolton, 47, is wanted on suspicion of a serious assault. He has links to Walsall and Birmingham. WMP stated: "If you know where he is, call 999, or if you have any information, you can speak to us via Live Chat on our website quoting crime reference number 20/220396/26. Information can also be given anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."
Kevin Owen
An appeal has also been launched for Kevin Owen, 47, who is wanted for shop theft and assault in the Coventry area. Anyone with information should call 999, quoting reference 20/413461/25.
Tony Paynton
Police have issued an alert for Tony Paynton from Bloxwich, who is wanted for allegedly breaching a stalking protection order. WMP added: "If you see him, call 999 quoting reference 20/204077/26."
Darren Bayliss
Darren Bayliss, 36, from Darlaston, is suspected of breaching bail conditions. Officers are keen to locate him and ask the public: "If you see Bayliss, call 999 quoting crime number 20/195586/26."
