Wanted man on holiday in Spain furious at police bid to hunt him down

A NEWPORT man has commented on his own police appeal, asking police to leave him alone so that he can focus on his career in becoming a social media influencer.

Luke Ruiz, 29, is wanted by Gwent Police as they believe he can help them in their investigation into class A drug supply in Newport.

Gwent Police released the following statement on January 7: “Officers investigating the supply of Class A drugs in Newport would like to speak to Luke Ruiz.

“Officers would like to speak to the 29-year-old from Newport who may be able to assist with their investigation.

“Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to call 101, send a direct message on social media, or via the website, quoting log reference 2400057350.

“Alternatively, you can contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or online.”

The Argus reached out to Luke Ruiz, asking why he is a wanted man, to which he responded saying he does not know why police made the appeal because they already know where he is – Marbella.

“If I’m wanted for a crime, feel free to let me know directly. If not, and you just want a chat, then inbox me. We can talk about how there’s absolutely nothing I can assist you with,” said Luke to police on social media.

Luke left the country after being released from prison nine months ago, when the charge of aggravated burglary that he was facing was dropped “on a random Friday evening,” just days before he was due to appear in court.

The 29-year old says he has put this in the past, and now he just wants to focus on his career on social media, which includes posting vlogs on Youtube.

“They could have just emailed me, instead of posting the worst photo of me possible all over social media,” said Luke.

“I have already told them everything I know and I don’t even live in the country anymore.

“I have started a new life in Spain and I am making money on social media, through Facebook and Youtube.

If you want to see more from Luke, his Youtube handle is @LetsGetSomeLunazbullz, where he posts “epic travel vlogs.”

You can also find him on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok.
