An appeal to locate a man wanted in connection with a serious assault in Cornwall this week has been launched.

Police are appealing for the public’s help to find local Camborne man, Jason ‘Jay’ Simmons.

Simmons, aged 56, is wanted in connection to a serious assault which occurred in Pengegon Way at around 11.55pm on Thursday, November 21. 

We believe that Simmons may have access to a black Ford C-Max car with the registration number LR58 MVG.

He is described as a white male, around 5ft 5ins tall, he has blue eyes and wears a piercing in his left ear.

Detective Inspector Dan Massey said: “Searches remain ongoing to locate Simmons and officers are also carrying out enquiries in the area.

"I can confirm that yesterday officers located and seized a crossbow which is believed to be linked to this incident.

“The victim, a man in his 30s, sustained life-threatening injuries and remains in hospital receiving treatment.”

DI Massey added: “I urge anyone who has seen Jason Simmons, or knows where he is, to please contact us as a matter of urgency.

“Please note that the image of Simmons is from 2011, so his appearance may differ slightly, but at this time it is the most recent image available to us.”

Anyone who sees Simmons or knows of his whereabouts is asked not to approach him and to call police immediately on 999 quoting log 973 of 21/11/24.
