The Met Police announced the reward to track down Asije, framing it as a direct appeal to the public. Officers say no detail is too small. Anyone with information can call 101 and quote reference CAD 6448/07APR26. If Asije is spotted, police ask the public to call 999 immediately and not approach him, according to Harrow Online.
Detectives say Asije is not believed to pose a risk to the general public. But they are clear he must not be confronted. Police also warned that helping someone evade arrest can itself be a criminal offence, according to LBC.
