£5,000 reward for information of man wanted for drugs and firearms offences

Wanted: Leon Cullen has links to the entire north west

The charity Crimestoppers is today (Thursday 24 January) offering a reward of up to £5,000 in the hope of encouraging people to speak up if they have information on the whereabouts of Leon Cullen, who is wanted for drugs and firearms offences.

30-year-old Cullen, known to the Warrington, Cheshire area – remains wanted for conspiracy to supply firearms and conspiracy to supply Class A drugs, namely cocaine. A European Arrest Warrant has also been issued.

Cullen is believed to be part of an organised crime group which saw 20 men sentenced to a total of 185 years at Liverpool Crown Court on Friday 18 January for conspiracy to supply firearms, cocaine and cannabis.

He is described as white, around 5ft 8 in height, of a slim build with short light brown hair, a tanned complexion and prominent white teeth. He also has two distinctive tattoos.

Cullen has links to the whole of the north west.
