‘It is a serious offence that carries a prison sentence of up to ten years.’

Mazirel is described as 5’7”, with short light brown hair.

CCTV shows him just before he escaped from lawful custody.

DI Jacobs added: ‘I am urging the public to come forward with information, however small, that could help us in our search for Mazirel.
