A convicted drug dealer still remains wanted by Norfolk police two weeks after they first appealed to the public to assist in helping to locate him.

Liam Whittle, 30, is said to be known to "frequent the areas of Great Yarmouth and Gorleston", and the force is continuing to hunt for him.

He is wanted in connection with an assault that happened in Great Yarmouth and failing to answer to bail for it on November 15.

Police say they are "currently unable to comment on the specifics" of the assault at this moment in time.

They add that "efforts are ongoing" to locate him.

In 2020 Whittle was jailed for three years in connection with selling cocaine, cannabis and MDMA when sentenced at Norwich Crown Court.

The court heard that on September 18 last year officers from the Operation Moonshot East Team stopped a black Volkswagen Polo seen to be acting suspiciously on Middle Market Road in Great Yarmouth.
