LANCASHIRE detectives are re-appealing for the public’s help in tracing a wanted sex offender from Burnley.
Dilshad Miah, 33, is still wanted by police after failing to notify the authorities of a change of address last year.
MORE TOP STORIES:
Police originally issued a wanted appeal for Miah in February 2014 but he is still outstanding and believed to possibly be in Manchester or London.
Miah was convicted of sexually assaulting a woman in November 2013 and was given a 19 day suspended sentence and placed on the sex offenders register until December 2020.
He is described as around 5ft tall, proportionate build with brown eyes and short dark hair.
Police are appealing for anybody with information about his whereabouts to come forward.
DC Andrew Ashworth said: “Despite it being almost one year from our last appeal, we are determined to find Miah and I urge anyone who knows his whereabouts to contact police.”
“Sex offenders are managed in the community by police and partners, a system which aims to prevent them from committing further offences. If they do not comply with the obligations of their licence or notification requirements, we will take positive action to find them, as we are doing in this case.”
Anybody with information can call 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
