Detective Constable Lee Atkins, investigating, said: "Since this matter was reported to us in 2018, we have carried out a number of complex enquiries to identify a suspect in connection with this offence. "We have since been working with forces across the country and national agencies in a bid to identify and trace Loi Le. This has included circulating details to all forces and working with Immigration Enforcement to identify his current whereabouts. "It's vitally important we locate Le so we can speak to him in connection with our ongoing investigation. If you recognise this man or the names he may go by, and you believe you know where he might be, please contact us."
