Ali is Asian, slim and has a shaved head.

He is known to have links across Sheffield, as well as in Leeds and Manchester.

Ali is serving an indeterminate sentence for his offending, which means he was jailed indefinitely for the protection of the public.

Such sentences, where a minimum term that prisoners must serve is not set, are no longer handed out.

South Yorkshire Police is urging anyone with information on Ali’s whereabouts to call 101.
