Bolton's most wanted as police warn 'do not approach them'

These are the faces of Bolton's four most wanted people this week as police ask the public for help. Officers do not know where any of the four people currently are - but all four have links to Bolton.

The group includes William Thornhill, 20, and Rais Atcha, 30, who are both wanted on recall to prison. Greater Manchester Police says Thornhill is known in Bolton town centre, while Atcha is known in Great Lever.

John Phelps is wanted on breach of a court order issued at Wigan Magistrates Court on Friday, April 29. The 37-year-old is known in the Tonge Moor area, GMP says.

Finally, 27-year-old Naomi Conway is wanted for assault. A warrant for her arrest was issued by Wigan Magistrates Court last Wednesday (May 4).

The images were shared by GMP Bolton on Tuesday (May 10) with a warning to anyone who may be trying to hide one of the four. Supt Steph Parker, from GMP's Bolton division, said: "Anybody found harbouring any wanted person or helping them to evade justice will be arrested themselves and face possible court action and a criminal record."

A spokesperson for GMP Bolton added: "All of these wanted people are not to be approached. Their whereabouts are unknown despite several arrest attempts having been made."

Anyone who sees one of the four most wanted in Bolton is urged to call 999 immediately. Other information about the group can be passed on to GMP by calling 101, or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
