Police Launch Public Appeal for Wanted Hampshire Man Who Could Be in Birmingham
Southampton Police have issued a public appeal for information regarding the whereabouts of Chris Pinder, a 48-year-old man from Hampshire who is wanted for recall to prison. Authorities believe he may have travelled to Birmingham, among other locations, and are urging residents to assist in the search.
Details of the Wanted Individual
Chris Pinder had been serving a sentence for actual bodily harm before his recall to prison. Police have been conducting extensive enquiries but have so far been unable to locate him. In a social media post, Southampton Police directly asked the public, "Do you know where Chris Pinder is?" emphasizing the urgency of the situation.
Pinder is described as a white male, approximately 5 feet 5 inches tall, with an average build, brown hair, and blue eyes. He has known links to Southampton but is reported to move frequently around Hampshire and may have travelled to Bristol or Birmingham.
Appeal to the Public and Legal Warnings
Officers are now broadening their appeal to the wider public for assistance. They have issued a stern reminder that anyone found to be harbouring Pinder with the intent to obstruct police efforts could be committing an offence and may face arrest themselves.
If you have seen Chris Pinder or have any information regarding his whereabouts, you are urged to contact the police immediately on 999, quoting reference number 44260106702. Alternatively, for those wishing to remain anonymous, you can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers at 0800 555 111.
This appeal highlights the ongoing efforts by law enforcement to ensure public safety and bring individuals back into custody as required by law. The police stress the importance of community cooperation in such cases to prevent further incidents and uphold justice.
