POLICE have asked for the public's help in the search for a 26-year-old man who failed to appear in court when ordered.

Aqib Hamid is wanted in relation to driving offences and officers have asked for anyone with information on his whereabouts to come forward.

He is believed to have links to the Deane area.

This appeal is the latest in GMP's Wanted for Christmas campaign, which earlier in the week saw officers detain another man wanted for failing to appear after a driving offence.

Anyone with information on Mr Hamid can call police on 101 or call Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
