Has anyone seen Eren?

Daisy Jackson Daisy Jackson - 4th November 2026

Police have ramped up their appeal to find missing bride-to-be Eren Wright, releasing CCTV of her on the day she vanished.

Eren has been missing since 27 October, when she left her home address in Lytham St Annes.

Since then, her desperate fiancé has shared that her phone was last detected in Birkdale Southport at around 5.30pm that same day, and her bank accounts are empty.

He said last week in a post on Facebook: “Myself and the pets are freaking out not knowing where she is and if she is ok, she has been missing for nearly 12 hours.”

Eren was last seen just after 10am leaving her home on St David’s Road South.

Police have now shared the new CCTV image of Eren in the hopes that someone might know where she is, or have seen her.

Fylde Police also said they were ‘worried’ about her.

If you see Eren or know where she might be, call 999 quoting log 1309 of October 27th.

Leigh drug dealer jailed after being ‘caught red-handed’ by police

Emily Sergeant Emily Sergeant

A drug dealer known around the Leigh area has been jailed last week after police caught him ‘red-handed’.

Dawid Bialek, of no fixed abode, has been jailed after pleading guilty to four counts of possession with intent to supply Class A drugs (heroin and crack cocaine), and handling stolen goods.

It comes after, on Monday 11 May 2026, officers from Greater Manchester Police (GMP) who were patrolling on a canal towpath, near Quayside in Leigh, spotted 30-year-old Bialek attempting to discard a package in the water.

The package was subsequently recovered, and according to GMP, was found to contain multiple wraps of suspected Class A drugs.

Further enquiries then led police to an address in Leigh, where additional evidence linked to drug dealing was recovered – including suspected drugs, scales, empty wraps, and mobile phones.

Bialek was later bailed as police conducted further enquiries, but while that work was continuing, on Friday 19 June, officers carrying out plain-clothes patrols in the town centre saw Bialek in an alley just off the canal tow path, handing out wraps of heroin and crack cocaine to others.

He was once again stopped, searched, and found to be in possession of drugs and cash.

This time he was charged and able to be remanded. He appeared at court over the summer and plead not guilty to the charges brought against him, but as the investigation continued, examination of seized mobile phones uncovered further evidence of drug dealing activity – including messages, videos and notes consistent with the supply of Class A drugs.

Due to the quantity of evidence gathered and submitted to the CPS, Bialek changed his plea to guilty and was sentenced at Liverpool Crown Court last week.

He has been jailed for a total of four years and nine months.

Following the sentencing, a spokesperson for GMP’s Leigh Neighbourhood Policing Team said: “The supply of Class A drugs causes significant harm within our communities and often exploits vulnerable people who are struggling with addiction.

“This result demonstrates our commitment to targeting those responsible for bringing drugs into Leigh and disrupting the criminality associated with them.”
