Wanted man from Ashton is the toast of social media users

Robert Rimmer is wanted in connection with drugs offences

Social media users are swooning over the good looks of an on-the-run Ashton man wanted for drugs offences.

Police have renewed their appeal to locate wanted man Robert Rimmer, who is originally from the Ashton-Under-Lyne area.

Officers are keen to speak to the 37-year-old in connection with an ongoing investigation into drugs related offences.

Rimmer also has known links to Hull, Cheshire, Liverpool, Blackpool and the Middle East.

Admirers, taken by his police mugshot, are offering to help track him down, despite police warning the public not to approach him.

One posted on facebook: "I’d definitely face charges into keeping him safe and secure... does he have a few friends?"

Another said: "Wanna be my personal gym teacher?"

One poster compared him to Hollywood star Channing Tatum.

A woman posted: "If I find him, I'll lock him up and let him do his time under my watch."

The messages were posted on Humberside Police's Facebook page.

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

If you would prefer to report information anonymously you can do so via the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
