Members of the public are also reminded that harbouring a wanted person is an offence and those involved could face prosecution.

Keddy, or anyone who believes they have seen him, should send Northumbria Police a direct message on social media or use the live chat function and report forms on the Force’s website.

Alternatively, for those unable to contact police online, call 101 and quote the crime reference number: 153297N/24.
