Crimestoppers is offering a £5,000 reward for a suspected Rotherham drug dealer, who failed to turn up in court four years ago.

35 year old Sakab Malik was due to attend Leicester Crown Court in August 2021 on charges of conspiracy to supply cocaine.

He has been on the run since and was the subject of a previous Crimestoppers appeal.

Lydia Patsalides, East Midlands Regional Manager, Crimestoppers said:

“I am sure that there are people out there who have information about where Sakab Malik is. I would urge anyone who has any information to come forward to speak to our charity 100% anonymously.”

“We know it can be difficult for some people to speak directly to the police which is why Crimestoppers is here for you.”

“Our charity is completely independent of the police, and we’ve been passing on information about crime whilst guaranteeing anonymity since we were established decades ago. It’s a promise we have always kept.”

“Crimestoppers is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We cannot trace your call or track your IP address. No one will ever know you contacted us. This means no police, no courts, no witness statements. You may think your information is insignificant, however it could make all the difference.”

Anyone with information can contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
