Police appeal for help to find man ‘actively evading arrest’
GMP WANT TO SPEAK TO 21-YEAR-OLD IN ASSAULT AND BURGLARY INVESTIGATIONS
POLICE want your help to track down a fugitive who is ‘actively evading arrest.’
Officers have tried in vain in catch Kyle McGovern, 21, who is wanted over alleged assaults and burglary.
But Mr McGovern, normally of Walderton Avenue in Moston, is ‘actively evading arrest,’ according to GMP and officers believe he is wearing his hood up to avoid being recognised despite the heatwave.
He is wanted in connection with a number of assaults, burglary offences and breach of a court order, according to the force.
He is known to have links with Moston, Newton Heath and Oldham and is actively evading police arrest, a GMP statement said.
“All efforts to trace him so far have proved unsuccessful,” they said.
Warrants were issued and officers searched properties in Moston and Failsworth on Wednesday, June 6, but Mr McGovern was not found.
As part of these searches two men – aged 20 and 21 – were arrested on suspicion of burglary and have been released under investigation.
Det Con Leanne Gibb, from GMP’s city of Manchester division, said: “We understand that McGovern has been seen recently on the Lightbowne Estate in Moston by local residents.
“McGovern is known to walk around wearing a hat, shorts and with his hood up.
“I urge anyone with any information on his whereabouts to contact the police so he can be prosecuted for the offences he has committed.”
A GMP spokesman confirmed: “Kyle McGovern (02/05/97) of Walderton Avenue, Moston is wanted in connection with a number of assaults, burglary offences and breach of a court order.
“McGovern is known to have links with Moston, Newton Heath, and Oldham and is actively evading police arrest. All efforts to trace him so far have proved unsuccessful.”
Anyone with information about Mr McGovern’s whereabouts is asked to contact police on 0161 856 3521 or make a report through Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111 or online.
