It is a criminal offence to harbour somebody who is evading arrest and officers do not want anyone to get in trouble on Anderson’s account.

Anyone with information about his whereabouts is asked to call 101 quoting log 0200653. Alternatively you can pass on any details to independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
