At the risk of sounding pedantic when did "appealing for information" become synonymous with "hunt"?
Headline writers like short words?
I think you'll find that's cops hunt Land Rover driver.
i expect someone will slam someone else sometime soon.
Where are John Thomson* and Jamie Theakston when you need them? I bet they'd know what language to use.

Looking for Land Rover driver, so it's natural to choose a word that rhymes with c*nt.
