Merseyside Police has appealed for information from the public to help officers identify and bring to justice a number of people who are currently wanted. The force always has a number of ongoing wanted appeals for people who officers are unable to find.

The people who are subject of the appeals include convicted criminals who have failed to attend court to be sentenced, people who have breached licence conditions and are wanted on recall to prison and those who have failed to answer bail.

One of the more serious wanted appeals is the continued hunt for three men - Darren Murphy, Jonathan Scott and Carl Watterson - who failed to appear before Carlisle Crown Court to be sentenced for their involvement in class A drug offences. Other people on the list include Zac Dillon, who police believe might have information about a stabbing in Liverpool city centre, and Shaun Wilkinson, who might have information about a different stabbing in Liscard.
