Lancashire Police want to speak to Thomas Curley (pictured) as part of an investigation after a woman was threatened and seriously assaulted.

The victim, 18, was strangled, suffocated, tied up, burned and beaten, during the ordeal at an address in Blackpool last week.

Curley, 31, aka Thomas Preece, was living at an address on Talbot Road in the resort but also has links to Macclesfield in Cheshire.

Police are appealing for anyone who has seen him or knows where he might be to get in touch so that we can speak to him about what happened.

The appeal also goes out directly to Curley himself to get in touch if he sees this appeal.

Anyone with information should contact 101 quoting log 0347 of November 11th or email 6988@lancashire.police.uk
