POLICE are hunting a trio who are wanted in connection with an assault on an officer.

Officers are appealing for help to track down Jason Eastwood, 18  and brothers Michael, 21, and Nathan Redford, 27.

They are wanted by Hampshire Police in connection with a number of offences including assaulting a police officer, going equipped for theft and shop lifting within the county.

The men were stopped by officers on the A30 shortly after midnight on January 12, in a Ford Focus car, but as there were being arrested, one of the men assaulted an officer and all three managed to flee.

Jason is from Farnborough and the other two are from Berkshire, but all have links to the Hampshire area.
