Police Launch Hunt for Robert Rimmer in Drug Probe

Humberside Police have issued an urgent appeal to find Robert Rimmer, 36, originally from Ashton-under-Lyne. Officers want to speak with him in connection with a drug-related investigation.

Rimmer is believed to have links to Hull, Cheshire, Liverpool, and Blackpool. The public has been warned not to approach him and instead to call the non-emergency police number 101 immediately.

Social Media Buzzes with Jokes and Offers to Help

Since the appeal went public, social media users have flooded comment sections with cheeky offers to help find Robert. One joked, “I wouldn’t mind approaching him.” Another said, “If I find him, I’m keeping him.”

One user chimed in with a laugh: “Look at him! If I see him, I’m going to arrest him and handcuff him to my bed… Of course, to assist Humberside police.”

Others wondered about the man’s alleged crimes. “He’s very good looking, what’s he done?” asked one commenter, while another admitted on Twitter, “I wouldn’t mind knowing where he is either.”

Humberside Police stressed the importance of caution, saying:

“If you see him or know where he is, please do not approach him but instead call us immediately on our non-emergency 101 line quoting investigation reference 20900368291.”

They also reminded the public that anonymous tips can be made through the charity Crimestoppers at 0800 555 111.
