A reward of £1,000 is being offered for information that leads to the arrest and charge of 51-year-old Henry Thomas Henderson from Sandown, who is wanted by Police in connection with a serious assault.
Henderson, of Downsview, is being sought by officers for questioning in relation to a serious assault. At some point between 23:30 and midnight on Tuesday 22nd November 2016, a man was assaulted on Newport Street, Ryde. He was treated for injuries to his face and leg and was later released from hospital.
Police believed Henry Henderson may have left the local area and travelled to Wilmslow in Cheshire in February 2017. A CCTV image of a man believed to be Henry Thomas Henderson in Wilmslow has been released (see above). Henderson may have now left the UK and Hampshire Constabulary are applying for a European arrest warrant as part of their efforts to locate him.
Henderson is described as white, 5ft 11ins tall with short straight dark brown hair. He is of slim build and has a Scottish accent.
Detective Chief Inspector Nick Heelan has said:
“Henderson has been featured on the Crimestoppers website to assist our enquiries. The charity offers a reward of up to £1,000 for information leading to an arrest and charge in relation to its ‘Most Wanted’ appeals.
“I have decided to renew our appeal and release this CCTV image, as we need to speak to Mr Henderson as a matter of urgency.
“Incidents like this are very rare on the Isle of Wight and this is clearly a high priority for the investigations team on the Island. I need the public’s help to locate Mr Henderson, so if you know anything that may assist us in our search please make contact in confidence by calling 101”.
