POLICE are searching for a man involved in an international online dating scam originating in Bury.

Francisco Ndong, aged 36, of Earl Street, Glasgow is wanted after failing to appear at court following a romance fraud in April 2014.

Police and partner agencies have since carried out a number of covert enquiries in an attempt to trace him.

However, Ndong continues to evade arrest and police are now appealing for the public's help in finding him.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101, or make an anonymous report through the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
