‘Officers have carried out extensive enquiries to locate him and we are now asking the public for assistance.’

Seymour is described as white, approximately 5ft 11ins, medium build, blue eyes and has a two inch scar on his right thumb.

He also has a number of tattoos, including ‘LEILA’ and two footprints on his left arm, a sleeve on his right arm, a symbol on the right side of his neck and an angel on his back.

Officers believe that he may have recently altered his appearance by shaving off his beard and dying his hair blonde.

‘If you have seen him, or know where he is, please do not approach him, but contact us,’ the spokesman added.

Anyone with information should call 101, quoting Operation Pace or 44200439309.

Or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or 999 if a crime is in progress.
