Click to enlarge photosSSAA National has been contacted by Victoria Police to appeal to SSAA members across the country to assist in a search for a man who has been evading police capture for more than a year. Due to SSAA National’s ability to reach people in all states, Victoria Police has appealed for our assistance to spread the message and is offering a $100,000 reward as an incentive for someone within the community to come forward with information that leads to the arrest of this man.

Graham Gene Potter, 53, failed to appear on bail for conspiracy to murder charges on February 1, 2010. Potter is also wanted in relation to serious Commonwealth drug charges.

Potter was last sighted by local police in Tully, Queensland, south of Cairns and north of Townsville, on Saturday, August 28, 2010, when he ran from a vehicle during a routine police intercept. Before his sighting in Tully, police believe that he travelled to New South Wales around April 22, 2010, where it’s believed he attended the Sydney Central Train Station before later returning to North Queensland around the Tully and Ravenshoe areas.

Due to recent flooding in Queensland, investigators have been targeting caravan parks across Australia during their search and working to provide owners with information, as Potter is known to be a frequent user of this type of accommodation.

He is described as Caucasian, 175cm tall, medium to solid build, brown eyes, fair complexion with brown greying hair and a ginger beard. He has a gold sleeper earring in both ears, wears glasses and regularly wears a gold chain around his neck. Potter has a propensity for changing his appearance and has used a number of aliases including Josh Lawson, John Page, Jim Henderson and Peter Adams.

Anyone who sights Graham Gene Potter is advised not to approach him, but contact Triple Zero (000). Anyone with any information regarding his whereabouts is asked to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit www.crimestoppers.com.au
