DC Adam Gregson, from Blackpool Police, said: "McManus is well aware that he should have been at court and subsequently knows he is wanted by us.

"I am asking anyone who has seen him or knows where he is to contact us as soon as possible.

"Similarly, if McManus himself sees this appeal I would urge him to do the right thing and hand himself in at the nearest police station."
