Detective Chief Inspector Jude Ashmore, the senior investigating officer working on the case, said Farrah, who is known to frequent the Broomhall area, '˜knows he is wanted' and is '˜deliberately avoiding' the police.

She has warned that anyone found to be helping him evade arrest faces prosecution.

 Members of the public who spot Farrah are urged to call 999.

Anyone with information as to where he might be should call South Yorkshire Police on 101 or the incident room to speak to detectives directly on 01709 443507.
