Hunt for £20m fraud suspect

Daniel McDonagh: wanted by police

POLICE are hunting an Oldham man wanted in connection with a £20 million fraud conspiracy.

Three people have already been charged in connection with the offence.

McDonagh is also wanted for failing to answer court bail having been charged with a separate fraud offence relating to computers up to the value of £8.9 million, which were purchased with false cheques between April 2 and 5.

Police are appealing to anyone who knows of his whereabouts to call Greater Manchester Police on 0161-872 5050 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800-555 111.
