Police in Newcastle have launched an urgent appeal to trace a wanted man believed to have links to the city’s West End following an ongoing assault investigation.

Northumbria Police confirmed that officers are actively searching for 26-year-old Jonas Aleksas, who is wanted in connection with a reported assault. Detectives say extensive enquiries are continuing across Newcastle and surrounding areas as efforts to locate him intensify.

The force has now turned to the public for assistance as officers attempt to track down Aleksas, who police believe is aware that he is being sought in relation to the investigation.

Northumbria Police continue search for Jonas Aleksas.

According to Northumbria Police, Jonas Aleksas has known links to the West End of Newcastle, an area officers are focusing on as part of their ongoing enquiries.

Police have not released further details surrounding the alleged assault at this stage, but confirmed that locating Aleksas remains a priority for investigators working on the case.

A photograph of the wanted man has also been circulated by the force in an effort to encourage members of the public to come forward with any relevant information that could help officers establish his whereabouts.

The appeal has quickly gained attention online, with police using social media channels and digital platforms to widen the search across the North East.

Public warned against harbouring wanted man.

As part of the appeal, Northumbria Police reminded the public that knowingly assisting or harbouring a wanted individual is a criminal offence.

Officers warned that anyone found helping a wanted person evade police could face prosecution. The force urged residents to act responsibly and contact authorities immediately if they have seen Aleksas or know where he may be staying.

Police appeals of this nature are often considered an important step in locating suspects quickly, particularly when officers believe someone may still be within the local area.

Investigators frequently rely on community support, CCTV footage, witness reports and information shared online to help build a clearer picture of a suspect’s recent movements.

Newcastle residents urged to contact police.

Northumbria Police have encouraged anyone with information regarding Jonas Aleksas to get in touch as soon as possible.

Members of the public can send the force a direct message through social media platforms or use the live chat and report forms available on the official Northumbria Police website.

Those unable to use online methods can instead contact police by calling 101 and quoting reference number 25000016509.

Officers stressed that even seemingly minor details could prove valuable to the investigation and may assist police in locating the wanted man more quickly.

Police appeals remain vital in ongoing investigations.

Public appeals continue to play a major role in modern policing, particularly in large urban areas such as Newcastle where investigations can move rapidly across different communities.

Northumbria Police regularly issue wanted notices when officers believe public assistance could significantly improve the chances of locating an individual connected to an investigation.

Digital appeals shared on social media platforms often reach thousands of people within hours, helping police gather new leads and information from residents who may not otherwise have been aware of an ongoing investigation.

In recent years, police forces across the UK have increasingly relied on online engagement as part of wider crime prevention and suspect tracing strategies. These approaches allow investigators to communicate quickly with the public while encouraging people to report information confidentially.

The latest appeal involving Jonas Aleksas forms part of those wider efforts as officers continue searching for answers linked to the reported assault investigation.

West End Newcastle remains focus of enquiries.

The West End of Newcastle has been highlighted by officers as an area connected to Aleksas, with enquiries continuing throughout the district.

The area is one of Newcastle’s busiest residential communities and is regularly the focus of police operations linked to crime prevention, public safety and ongoing investigations.

While officers have not disclosed whether Aleksas is believed to still be in the area, police continue to urge residents across Newcastle and the wider North East to remain alert and report any sightings immediately.

Residents are also being reminded not to approach the wanted man directly. Instead, anyone who believes they may have seen Aleksas is advised to contact Northumbria Police and allow officers to respond appropriately.

Investigation remains ongoing.

At this stage, the investigation surrounding the reported assault remains ongoing and no further details about the incident itself have been released publicly.

Police enquiries are continuing as officers work to gather evidence and locate Aleksas as quickly as possible.

Northumbria Police have reiterated that public cooperation could prove crucial in helping bring the investigation to a swift conclusion.

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Jonas Aleksas is asked to contact Northumbria Police via social media, online reporting tools or by calling 101 and quoting reference number 25000016509.
