A nationwide search is underway for two men considered dangerous, prompting an urgent plea from authorities: if you see either Matthew Armstrong or Daniel Washbourne, do not approach – call 999 immediately.
Matthew Armstrong, 35, was last seen wearing a distinctive burgundy and orange coat, paired with grey tracksuit bottoms accented with blue stripes, and black boots. He’s a white male, approximately 5ft 9ins tall, with striking ginger hair and visible scars on his head, marking a past that authorities are now intensely focused on.
Armstrong’s history includes a conviction for murder committed during a robbery in Warwickshire in the late 2000s. Police believe he may have returned to that area, and are actively investigating potential leads within the county.
Daniel Washbourne, 40, is described as a white male, around 5ft 6ins in height, with a slim build and short brown hair. He was last spotted wearing a cream fleece, blue tracksuit bottoms, a blue hat, and black trainers.
Washbourne is known to have connections to Herefordshire, and his criminal record reveals previous convictions for violent offenses, including attacks on individuals and false imprisonment. This history underscores the seriousness of the current search.
Law enforcement has already taken swift action, flagging both men as wanted on national police systems. Extensive intelligence gathering is underway, tracing their recent movements and potential contacts.
Despite thorough address checks extending beyond their immediate areas, both men remain at large. The public is urged to remain vigilant and prioritize safety above all else.
Authorities reiterate: do not attempt to engage with either Armstrong or Washbourne. Immediate notification to 999 is the crucial step in assisting the ongoing investigation and ensuring public safety.
