Urgent Public Appeal Launched
Greater Manchester Police have issued a stark warning to the public: if you see someone known as ‘Manc Jay’, call 999 immediately. Officers say he is wanted in connection with a serious investigation into supply of heroin and crack cocaine. He should not be approached under any circumstances.
Who Police Are Looking For
‘Manc Jay’ is said to be a 30-year-old male. His description has been circulated widely and CCTV images released, as police intensify efforts to trace his whereabouts. Authorities believe he is involved in organised drug dealing in the region and may pose a risk to public safety.
What Happened
The appeal forms part of an ongoing conspiracy investigation into the supply of narcotics across Greater Manchester and adjacent areas. Detectives say locating ‘Manc Jay’ is crucial to dismantling one of the key arms of the operation. His capture may lead to further arrests.
How You Can Help Safely
• Do not approach the man yourself.
• If you recognise him or see someone matching the description phone 999 at once.
• Be ready to give precise location, what he’s wearing, any vehicle details, and direction of travel.
• If safe, take a photo or video, but only from a distance.
Detectives are also reviewing CCTV, ANPR (automatic number plate recognition) data, and mobile phone records to track his movements. Local patrols have been increased in hotspot areas while other units work behind the scenes to narrow down likely locations.
Why It Matters
Police say ‘Manc Jay’ is a high-priority suspect. His arrest could strike a significant blow against the supply chain of illegal drugs that affect communities across Greater Manchester. It may also lead to evidence that helps disrupt organised crime networks linked to violence, exploitation and more.
Final Word From Police
A senior officer appealed to the public’s help: “We urgently need your support to find this individual. Your call, your information, could make all the difference in preventing further harm. If you see him, dial 999 — don’t hesitate.”
This case remains active and evolving. Any information you have — however small it seems — may be vital.
