Detectives renew appeal to find wanted man with links to Peterborough and Spain

Detectives have renewed an appeal to trace a wanted man with links to Peterborough and Spain.

Northamptonshire Police said that Matthew Purves (41), who also has links to Corby, is wanted in connection with an allegation of supplying Class A drugs across the UK between November 2019 and February 2021. The alleged offence is part of an investigation which has already seen 11 members of a Corby-based organised crime gang jailed for more than 67 years for their roles in the conspiracy to supply cocaine. Purves is also wanted on recall to prison. Anyone who has seen Purves or who knows of his whereabouts, can call police on 101. Or, if you prefer, contact independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. Please quote incident number 21000072345 when providing any information to make sure it gets to the right person as quickly as possible.
