POLICE are appealing for the public's help in tracking down a wanted Selby man.

James Thomas, 26, is wanted in connection with an assault that was reported in November in Selby, North Yorkshire Police said.

A police spokesman added: "Officers believe Thomas knows he is wanted by police, but is refusing to hand himself in. He has links to Selby, and may be in the town."

Anyone who sees Thomas, or knows his whereabouts, is asked to phone North Yorkshire Police on 101, select option 2 and ask for PC Dan Kirven. Quote reference 12180211841.
