Police have made an arrest in the search for a man who was wanted over blackmailing offences.

Officers in Chorley appealed earlier this week for help to find 21-year-old Miles Gibbons in relation to the offences.

They made an arrest yesterday (December 29).

Gibbons has links to Clayton Brook, Bamber Bridge, and Preston.

A police spokesperson said: “Earlier this week we asked for your help locating Miles Gibbons, who was wanted in connection with blackmail offences.

“Yesterday we made an arrest. Thanks to the public for all your comments and shares.”
