New photo released in manhunt for Harrogate rape suspect
North Yorkshire Police has published a new photo of a man officers want to speak to urgently in connection with a Harrogate rape investigation.
Clifford Ian Church, 62, of Harrogate, is wanted for breaching his probation conditions and in connection with an ongoing rape investigation.
Detectives searching for Church today (August 10) issued a photo of him showing the clothes he was wearing shortly after the incident was reported.
He is believed to be carrying a rucksack, wearing a black jacket, blue jeans and black trainers.
Police said on Friday, when they first published the appeal, that Church is believed to still be in Harrogate but also has links to York, Leeds, Cleveland and Durham.
Today’s update said:
“Extensive enquiries have been carried out to locate him and these are continuing.
We are appealing to anyone who may have seen Church or knows where he is now, to contact us as a matter of urgency.”
Anyone with information about his current whereabouts is urged to call 999 immediately. Other information can be passed on by calling 101.
Alternatively, you can contact Crimestoppers anonymously by calling 0800 555 111 or make a report via its website.
