A CONVICTED criminal and two suspects are being hunted by police after going missing.

The details of the trio, who are all thought to be in the Blackburn area, have been released by officers in a bid to track them down.

One is on the run after failing to complete a community order, while the other two are wanted after failing to report to court after being charged with offences.

Insp John Clucas said: "I would appeal to anyone who may have seen any of these people to contact their local police station.

"I would reassure the public that as a force we make every effort to trace people who are wanted but some of them will do all they can to evade capture."

Dean Bibby is 20-years-old and from Blackburn. A warrant has been issued by Preston Crown Court following a breach of a court order.

Bibby failed to comply with the order issued following an offence of affray last year.

He is though to be still in the Blackburn area.

Robert Edward Stewart is 22-years-old.

He is originally from Salford but recently lived in Darwen and is thought to be in the Blackburn area.

He is suspected to have been involved in the aggravated taking of a car and a warrant has been issued by Blackburn magistrates.

Rezjin Jabar Assad is 23-years-old and an Iraqi national.

He is thought to be in the Blackburn area and is wanted on suspicion of indecent assault.
