Call police immediately if you see this man in Hastings

Zak Marsden, 32, is also wanted for failing to appear at court on an assault charge, police said.

A £500 reward for information that leads to his arrest was previously offered by officers searching for him.

On Monday (February 1), Sussex Police said: “Marsden is wanted on a court warrant for failing to appear at Brighton Magistrates Court on 3 December, charged with assaulting a woman known to him at an address in (Brighton).

“During January reports were received of windows at the address being deliberately smashed.”

Marsden is white, 5ft 6in, of large build, with blue eyes, a shaved head and a tattoo on his neck and he has links to the Brighton and Hastings areas.

During the search for Marsden, three people, two men both in their thirties, from Newhaven and Hove, and a woman aged 26 from Hastings, have been arrested on suspicion of aiding an offender, according to Sussex Police. After being interviewed they have been released on police bail while enquiries continue.

Detective Sergeant Jack Sagar of the Brighton Safeguarding Investigations Unit said; “We have already offered a £500 reward for information that leads to Marsden’s arrest and conviction.

“Anyone who assists an offender to evade justice also commits an offence themselves.

“If you have information which you think could help us find him, please call 101 quoting 650 of 08/09.

“But if you see him, do not approach him but dial 999 immediately.”
