A POLICE manhunt has been launched after a series of burglaries and thefts in and around York.

North Yorkshire Police are looking to trace 26-year-old Jordan Both in connection with the crimes and have asked anybody who sees him or knows where he is to contact officers.

Both also has links to Leeds and Detective Inspector Alan Rowan of York CID said: "We have carried out extensive enquiries over a number of weeks and these searches will continue until we have found him."

Anybody who knows where Both is should phone York CID on 101, or contact the force control room on the same number if there is an immediate sighting of him.
