Appeal to trace man wanted as part of nationwide scam

Date published: 06 May 2015


Police are appealing for the public’s help to trace a man who is wanted as part of an ongoing fraud investigation.

Between January 2014 and August 2014, 10 victims from across the country attempted to purchase engines that were being advertised for sale on the internet.

Following payment being sent to companies including Nationwide Van Spares, no engines were ever delivered or received.

In total the victims have been defrauded out of £13,674

As part of the subsequent investigation, detectives from GMP’s Economic Crime Unit are eager to locate Anthony Peter Graham (13/03/1981).

He has links to the north west, specifically Manchester and Liverpool.

Anyone who has seen him or knows of his current whereabouts is asked to call police on 0161 856 0053 / 0161 856 6505.
