Merseyside Police issued an appeal on 26 February 2026 to find 35-year-old Shaun Jonathan McNally, a man from Netherton with links to Bootle, Merseyside, who is wanted on a recall to prison.
McNally is being sought for breaking the rules of his release following a sentence for threatening and disorderly behaviour. Officers are asking residents to check their home security cameras or doorbell footage for any sightings and to report information using the reference number 26000138716.
The search is part of the EVOLVE Netherton initiative, which is a community safety program involving the police and Sefton Borough Council. This project aims to make the community safer by increasing patrols and finding individuals who have active warrants for their arrest.
This appeal follows recent local incidents, including a stabbing on Dale Acre Drive on 12 February 2026. Families in Bootle, Crosby, and Netherton may notice more police officers in their streets while work continues to bring McNally back into custody.
