Robert Highton has been named as one of Lancashire's most wanted people as police step up their efforts to track him down.

They are looking for the 47-year-old, of Abbeywood, Skelmersdale, as he is wanted on suspicion of a section 18 wounding offence.

Officers also want to speak to him about an incident at Skelmersdale fire station on July 21 in which a police car was damaged.
