Yasin Hussain, 30, of Leadhall Crescent, failed to appear before Harrogate Magistrates Court on November 3, 2022, charged with two counts of possession with intent to supply a class A drug.

He is also wanted by West Yorkshire Police after he failed to appear at court for motoring offences.

A police statement added:

“Officers are also continuing to liaise with Hussain’s solicitor with a request to hand himself in.

“Anyone with information about Hussain’s whereabouts or possible sightings of him, please make an online report via the North Yorkshire Police website or call 101, option 1, and speak to the force control room.
