A man arrested in connection with a £5 million plot to supply heroin to Brighton is on the run.

Thomas Wynn has failed to answer police bail and is now being sought by detectives investigating an alleged £5 million conspiracy to supply heroin from Liverpool to Brighton and Eastbourne.

The 49-year-old had been detained in March this year and was released on police bail while enquiries continued.

Wynn is described as white, 6', of medium build, with blond hair and blue eyes.

He has an address in Tobacco Wharf, Commercial Road, Liverpool, but also has links to other addresses in that city. He has links to Eastbourne and Brighton as well.

Anyone who sees Wynn or knows where he may be is asked to contact police via 999 or 101, quoting Operation Wildwood. You can also contact the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
