Officers have issued an appeal to the public in the hope of tracing two fugitives wanted in connection with an alleged threatening behaviour in Newcastle.
It is believed both Lewis McMahon, 27, of Throckley, and Sean Hewitt, 23, of West Denton are actively evading arrest despite knowing that they are wanted.
Police from Northumbria Police searching for the pair have appealed to the public for information and have issued pictures of both in the hope that they will be recognised.

As part of their investigation a number of searches have been carried out at associated addresses in a bid to locate McMahon and Hewitt.
A spokesperson for Northumbria Police said: "Officers are asking anybody who believes they have seen them, or know where they may be residing, to get in touch.
"It is a criminal offence to harbour a wanted fugitive and officers do not want anybody to get into trouble on McMahon or Hewitt’s account."
Police are asking McMahon and Hewitt to hand themselves in to their nearest police station as soon as possible.
Anyone with information about either of their whereabouts is asked to contact police via the ‘Tell Us Something’ page of the Northumbria Police website or by calling 101 quoting crime number 140299J/22.
