West Midlands Police appealed directly to Tarin to hand himself in and called on the public to contact detectives with any information.

Detective Inspector Caroline Corfield, who is leading the investigation, said: "As we have so far not been able to locate Tarin, I'm now asking for the public's help in tracing him.

"If anyone knows where he is or thinks they may have seen him, I'd urge them to ring 999 immediately.

"If there's anyone out there who may be shielding him through a sense of misguided loyalty, they need to be aware that they are committing an offence and will be prosecuted.

"My message to Tarin would be that it's vitally important that we get to speak to you as soon as possible, so please do the right thing and let us know where you are."
