A search is on to find a man police say is wanted in connection with a suspected kidnap.

Police say that Callum Barlow, 20, is also wanted on recall to prison and has links to the Atherton, Tyldesley, Leigh and Wigan areas.

Officers first appealed for help in tracing Barlow on Tuesday December 19 and renewed their appeal to the public on Friday December 29.

A spokesperson said: “GMP are appealing for the public's help to trace Callum Barlow (29/04/2003), who is wanted in connection with a kidnap and on recall to prison.

“He has links to the Wigan, Leigh, Tyldesley and Atherton areas of Greater Manchester.”

An image of Barlow supplied by police shows a young man with dark hair and dark eyes wearing a grey t-shirt.

Police regularly put out information about wanted suspects all over the region in a bid to encourage members of the public to come forward with information about their whereabouts.
