Officers are appealing for the public’s help to locate a wanted South Tyneside man.

Raja Hassan Iftkhar, 32, is wanted in connection with an assault. Iftkhar has strong links to the South Tyneside area, particularly South Shields.

Extensive enquiries to locate him are ongoing across the region.

Officers from Northumbria Police are today (Wednesday) asking for the public’s help to trace him – and have urged anyone with information to come forward.

It comes soon after the force appealed to find South Tyneside man Monsur Miah, 29, who is wanted in connection with an assault.

Members of the public are also reminded that harbouring a wanted person is an offence and those involved could face prosecution.

Iftkhar, or anyone who believes they have seen him, should send Northumbria Police a direct message on social media or use the live chat function and report forms on the force’s website.

Alternatively, for those unable to contact police online, call 101 andquote reference number: 138210Q/24.
