Police are hunting a Bury man who is wanted in connection with drug offences.

Rizwan Jaffer, 44, originally of Manchester Road, Ramsbottom, was arrested on suspicion of possession of heroin with intent to supply in January 2009.

He later failed to answer bail and has been on the run ever since.

Police are now appealing to anyone who knows of his whereabouts to come forward.

Anyone found harbouring or offering refuge to Jaffer also faces possible arrest.

Information: call police on 101 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
