Public urged to help find wanted man Lee Scanlon

The independent charity, Crimestoppers, is offering a reward of up to £2,000 for information leading to the arrest of 40-year-old Lee Scanlon, who is wanted on suspicion of harassment and witness intimidation.

Lee Scanlon, born on 19th December 1984, has connections to both Stoke-on-Trent and Greater Manchester.

He is also wanted on Fail to Appear warrants issued by Staffordshire and Manchester Magistrates’ Courts. He has been wanted since 2 October 2025.

Information can be passed to Crimestoppers anonymously. The charity is independent of the police and guarantees complete anonymity to everyone who contacts them.

Crimestoppers, which is independent of the police, is supporting this investigation by offering a reward of up to £2,000 for information the charity exclusively receives – either online at Crimestoppers-uk.org or by calling 0800 555 111 at any time – that leads to the arrest of Lee Scanlon. The reward is available for three months and is due to expire on 12th February 2026.

Alan Edwards, West Midlands regional Manager at the charity Crimestoppers said: 

“Lee Scanlon is wanted in connection with serious offences, including harassment and witness intimidation and abuse.

“We’re asking anyone who knows where he is to speak up safely and anonymously. Nobody will know you contacted us, and you’ll be helping to protect others from potential harm. Please tell us what you know.”

Please note:

No-one will ever know you contacted Crimestoppers. With Fearless.org and Crimestoppers-uk.org, computer IP addresses are never traced. For telephone calls to the independent charity’s UK Contact Centre, there is no caller line display and no 1471 facility. You will stay 100% anonymous. Always.

Crimestoppers is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. They cannot trace your call or track your IP address. No one will ever know you contacted them. This means no police, no courts, no witness statements. You may think your information is insignificant, however it could make all the difference.

Information passed directly to the police will not qualify for a reward.

Anonymity: 

Crimestoppers guarantees complete anonymity, meaning that people who call or contact the charity via their website can pass on what they know without ever giving any personal details. Computer IP addresses are never traced. Telephone calls are never recorded; there is no caller line display and no 1471 facility.

Claiming a reward: 

The reward will only be payable for information passed directly to Crimestoppers and not to the police. A reward code must be asked for when calling Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. If you contact the charity via their online form anonymously, the 'keeping in contact’ facility must be used, and a reward code must be requested on your initial contact.
