Manhunt Launched for Manchester Drug Boss Brian Capon
The National Crime Agency (NCA) is on the hunt for Brian Capon, 32, linked to a massive drug conspiracy worth over half a million pounds. Capon, from Moreton Avenue, Stretford, is wanted for distributing cocaine, cannabis, and amphetamine across Manchester.
Manchester’s Most Wanted: Brian Capon on the Run
Capon is believed to be part of a criminal gang dealing class A and B drugs in the Manchester area. However, intelligence suggests he may have fled the region. He’s easy to spot thanks to a distinctive three-star tattoo below his left ear.
Two other men tied to the drug ring have already been charged. A third suspect was recently arrested on firearms charges following an NCA crackdown in May.
More Charges and Past Crimes
Greater Manchester Police also want Capon for possession of class A and B drugs with intent to supply. This followed a haul found at his Moreton Avenue home back in July 2017.
NCA Plea: Help Us Nab Capon
Greg McKenna, NCA regional head of investigations, said: “Capon is known to have family and friends in and around Manchester. Someone out there knows where he’s hiding, even if he’s no longer in the city.” “Anyone helping him or blocking our efforts risks arrest for assisting an offender. These gangs bring violence and exploitation, hitting our communities hard. That’s why we and our policing partners won’t stop chasing them.”
