Charity Crimestoppers has put up the reward and Lydia Patsalides, East Midlands Regional Manager, said: “Communities living under the shadow of drug supply suffer daily – the violence, exploitation and harm it brings can be profound.

“Matthew Purves has been wanted for some time, and somebody out there knows where he is. Through our charity, you can speak up and stay completely anonymous.  No matter how small the detail, please tell us today.”
