IF you have seen this man anywhere in Kerry gardaí would like to hear from you as soon as possible.
They are seeking information on the whereabouts of Mian Mujahid Ali Shahid – commonly known as Mian Shahid – following a request for assistance from police in the UK.
It is understood that the 19-year-old Pakistani national travelled to Ireland from Scotland earlier this year and he was last seen in the Foynes area on August 11.
Given that Kerry is just across the border from Foynes, the possibility that he could be somewhere in the county is being investigated.
Mian Shahid was convicted, in his absence, at Stafford Crown Court last April of two counts of sexual assault of an 18-year-old female.
At the same court in May he was sentenced to 30 months imprisonment for this offence, also in his absence.
Following receipt of a European arrest warrant, gardai have carried out extensive enquires but have failed to establish his current whereabouts.
“Our enquiries would indicate that he is still in this jurisdiction,” a spokesman said.
Gardai have appealed to Mian Shahid to contact them and they would also like to hear from the driver of a car in which he was observed as a passenger travelling in the Foynes area.
Anyone with any information on Mian Shahid’s current whereabouts is urged to contact any garda station or the garda confidential line on 1800-666-111.
