£5,000 Reward For Man Connected To Violent Assaults In Sussex

Crimestoppers has launched an urgent appeal for information leading to the arrest of Jordan Charles.

The independent charity wants to question the 23-year-old over a series of violent incidents in Sussex.  

Charles has links to Crawley and Bexhill in East Sussex & Croydon in South London.

A string of offences in recent months includes: violence and robbery; threatening revellers with a knife in Brighton; using racist and homophobic language; spitting saliva and blood at police; ransacking a takeaway in Crawley and attacking a customer; attacking staff at another Crawley restaurant with a glass and a metal chain dog lead wrapped around his hand; punching and kicking a woman to the floor outside a nightclub; assaulting a 12-year-old girl who had come to the aid of her mother and aunt during a parking dispute. He has also failed to appear in court. 
 
Jordan Charles is black, about 5' 9?, of medium build and with black hair. He is known to have links to Crawley, and is thought to still frequent the area. 

He is also thought to have links to Bexhill in East Sussex and Croydon in south London. 

Glenys Balchin, Regional Manager for Sussex & Surrey at the charity Crimestoppers, said: 

"This man must be found before anyone else comes to harm, which is why we are making an urgent appeal to the public in Sussex, Surrey and south London to help find his location.

"Jordan Charles is dangerous and the allegations against him are serious. 
 
"It is important to remind people that assisting somebody wanted for questioning over a crime can lead to prosecution.

"We are appealing to anybody who may know the whereabouts of Jordan Charles to urgently tell our charity what you know 100% anonymously. Always.
