Man jailed following hunt by Northwich officers

A man who was on the run from Northwich officers has been jailed.

Jack Day appeared at Liverpool Crown Court on Friday 30th January where he was sentenced to four years in prison.

The 32-year-old of no fixed abode, had earlier pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of class A drugs, possession of a knife in a public place, possession of class B drugs and driving without insurance.

Day was circulated on the national police wanted list in November 2024 in relation to his involvement in the supply of illegal drugs.

Despite several searches, and a public wanted appeal, he managed to evade officers until Wednesday 15 October 2025 when officers from Northwich located at a petrol station in Speke.

Day was arrested at the scene and during a search he was found in possession of two mobile phones, £400 cash, cannabis, drugs paraphernalia and a lock knife.

Analysis of the phones showed that Day was actively involved in the supply of cocaine.

Following the sentencing, Detective Constable Lara Hill, said:

“As this case shows, no matter where you hide, or how hard you try, we will find you and you will be brought to justice.

“Illegal drugs can have a devastating impact on not only drug users, but the community around them.

“The team here at Northwich are committed to doing all we can to stop drug activity on our streets to make Mid Cheshire a safer place to live and visit while also making it extremely difficult for drug dealers to operate.

“However, this is not an issue that we can tackle alone, and I want to take this opportunity to urge residents to keep spotting the signs of vulnerability. Keep an eye out if they feel something isn’t right and to report it to us on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

“We will always act on any information we receive, and I would urge anyone who believes this activity is happening near to them, to get in touch.”

In addition to his prison sentence, Day has also been ordered to pay £260 in court costs, and banned from driving for six months.
