Wanted Drugs Dealer on the Run: NCA Hunts Manchester Criminal Brian Capon

The National Crime Agency is hunting Brian Capon, 32, from Moreton Avenue, Stretford. He stands accused of peddling over half a million pounds’ worth of cocaine, cannabis, and amphetamines across Manchester.

High-Stakes Drugs Operation Under Fire

Capon is believed to be part of a criminal gang moving class A and B drugs in the Manchester area. Authorities suspect he’s may have fled the region to dodge capture.

He’s easy to spot — sporting a distinctive three-star tattoo below his left ear.

Two men already face charges linked to the same conspiracy. Another was nabbed and charged with firearms offences following an NCA appeal back in May.

Additional Charges and Previous Drug Haul

Greater Manchester Police also want Capon on suspicion of possessing class A and B drugs with intent to supply. This follows the discovery of a stash at his Moreton Avenue property in July 2017.

NCA Plea: Help Nab This Fugitive

“Capon has family and friends across Manchester. Someone out there knows where he is, even if he’s left the area,” said Greg McKenna, NCA regional head of investigations.

“Anyone aiding him risks arrest for assisting an offender. Drugs gangs bring violence and exploitation that harm our communities. We take this very seriously.”

If you have any information on Brian Capon’s whereabouts, call the NCA on 0370 496 7622 or Crimestoppers anonymously at 0800 555 111.
