Police are searching for a convicted sex offender who has failed to reveal his whereabouts.

Tarakhail Zalgai is wanted by West Yorkshire Police for failing to comply with notification requirements. 

Zalgai was released from prison after serving a sentence for a sexual assault in Batley in June 2019.

Numerous enquiries have been carried out to locate Zalgai, described as being about 5ft 6ins tall and of medium build.

He is an Afghan national and there is no suggestion that he has left the country.

Information suggests he has links to the Birmingham area, police said.

Police shared the last image of Zalgai – taken in August 2019 – but said it is possible he may have changed his appearance since then.

Anyone with information about Zalgai is asked to contact police in Kirklees on 101, or by using the live chat via westyorkshire.police.uk

Information can also be reported anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555111 or online.
