Man wanted for breaches to restraining order

Date published: 20 April 2011


Police are hunting a man who is wanted for numerous breaches of his restraining order.

A restraining order was granted against Leon Leonard, 32, in December 2010 by his ex-partner.

However, Leonard has breached this several times by attempting to phone and text her.

He is also wanted in connection with an assault that took place against a woman on Swift Road in Oldham on 8 April 2011.

It is believed Leonard, who is originally from Middleton, may still be in the area but could also be in either Oldham or Rochdale.

Police are appealing to anyone who knows of his whereabouts to call them on 0161 856 9095 or the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
