A reward for £3,000 has been offered for the whereabouts of a Hove fugitive wanted in connection with the daylight stabbing of another man at a Portslade convenience store.
Sussex Police last month issued a £1,000 reward to help find Ryan Mclean, 38, of Moyne Close, Hove.
McLean, formerly of Monarch’s View, Portslade, has been added to the Most Wanted list on the Crimestoppers website where it states that Mclean is known by a number of nicknames, including Scouse Carlos, Cars, Carl and Carlos. He is also known to have links to Liverpool.
The stabbing happened on Sunday 27 February 2022. The victim has been named locally as Louis Theodorou, of Tophill Close, Portslade, and formerly of Stonery Close, Portslade. He was treated in hospital for serious injuries to his head.
