All Cheshire Constabulary want this Christmas is to track down some of the county’s most prolific offenders.

So Chester , Ellesmere Port and Northwich’s most wanted have been placed on a naughty list.

Those featured are wanted in connection with drugs offences, thefts and failing to appear in court, and police are hoping you’ll be able help trace them.

So who is on the naughty list and why?

Take a look through this gallery to find out...

The release of the naughty list kicks off the force’s ‘All We Want For Christmas’ campaign – and who better to lend a hand than Santa Claus himself, their newest crime-fighting recruit.

Saint Nick has kindly agreed to spare some time over his busiest period to appear in a series of videos appealing for the whereabouts of offenders and suspects who continue to evade police.

Superintendent Jon Betts, head of criminal justice and custody, said: “We regularly appeal to the public for information that can help us as we try to track down our most prolific offenders who seem determined to evade us.

“At this time of year, thieves are doing their own brand of shopping too.

“We’re having a little bit of fun but there is a serious message behind this campaign.

“Individuals who try to evade the courts are denying victims their chance to see justice done and this can often leave many of those affected by crime unable to move on with their lives.

“We remain committed in our pursuit of those who believe they are above the law – and ensuring they are held to account for the crimes they have committed.”

The videos will appear on the constabulary’s social media channels over the coming weeks.

If you have any information regarding someone you know is wanted by police, call Cheshire Constabulary on 101.

Information can also be left anonymously, via Crimestoppers, on 0800 555111.
