Authorities believe one of the UK’s most wanted criminals may be hiding in Ellesmere Port.<\/a> Tadas Kuslevicius was jailed in 2021 for attempted kidnapping after he grabbed the hand of a five-year-old girl in an Asda<\/a> supermarket.<\/p>\n

The alarming incident occurred at the store in Queensferry<\/a>, Flintshire. During the court proceedings at Mold Crown Court in 2021, it was revealed that Kuslevicius “gestured to the child” and took hold of her hand, reports CheshireLive.<\/a><\/p>\n

The girl was briefly led away before she managed to run back to her mother. Kuslevicius, now 36, served a 10-week prison sentence but subsequently failed to comply with the requirements of his post-custody supervision.<\/p>\n

Consequently, a warrant for his arrest was issued in 2022. He is currently listed by CrimeStoppers as one of the UK’s most wanted fugitives.<\/a><\/p>\n

Authorities are urging anyone who sees him or has any information about his whereabouts to contact the police or to reach out to CrimeStoppers anonymously at 0800 555 111.<\/p>\n

Police have indicated that Kuslevicius has connections to both Ellesmere Port and Deeside.<\/p>\n

A spokesman for CrimeStoppers said: “Tadas Kuslevicius failed to comply with post-custody supervision requirements and currently has a warrant out for his arrest.<\/p>\n

“He has links to the Deeside area of North Wales as well as Ellesmere Port. We are seeking any information regarding his current location.”<\/p>\n

Kuslevicius is approximately 6ft tall, has a medium build, and features brown hair and brown eyes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One of UK’s most wanted criminals could be in Ellesmere PortTadas Kuslevicius failed to comply with post custody…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":33863,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,4],"tags":[486,8894,12,11746,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-33862","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-uk","8":"category-united-kingdom","9":"tag-asda","10":"tag-ellesmere-port","11":"tag-news","12":"tag-north-wales","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114366634015339267","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33862","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33862"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33862\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/33863"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33862"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33862"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33862"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
