| Police say he then took a flight from Heathrow to Bahrain later that day at 10:30 and may now be in east Africa. | |
| Det Supt Paul Hurley said South Wales Police had a team of officers who are trying to trace Mr Almahri. | |
| "We have been working closely with our counterparts in both NYPD and police officers in Tanzania," he said. | |
| "From our enquiries we have discovered that Almahri is very resourceful and has access to funds, which may further assist his evasion from law enforcement agencies. | |
| "I consider this man to be a dangerous individual and would advise that any knowledge of his location or sightings of him are reported immediately to the authorities - and he is not to be approached." |
