AN appeal to find a wanted man in connection with high-value car thefts in Lancashire has been made.

Officers want to find Daniel Deens, 31, of Roughwood Drive, Kirkby, in Liverpool, who is wanted in connection with a number of high-value thefts from addresses in Blackburn, Chorley and Preston in February and March.

Deens is described as white, 5ft 11in tall, of slim build with dark-brown, medium length hair.

He has hazel-coloured eyes and speaks with a Liverpool accent.

PC Tim Phillips said: "We are urging anyone with information about Deens to come forward.

"We believe he is in the Kirkby area of Liverpool and would ask anyone who knows where he is to contact us.

"Deens is thought to be actively avoiding police and we would advise people not to approach him, but instead call police immediately."

Anyone with information can call the police on 101 or email 8855@lancashire.pnn.police.uk. Alternatively Crimestoppers can be contacted anonymously on 0800 555 111.
