A suspect police have been hunting for more than four years in connection with an attempted rape in Kent is now among the top five most wanted men in Britain.

Detectives are trying to track down Malek Zafar following the reported attack in the Tonbridge area in 2018.

Anyone who knows his whereabouts is urged to call police on 101 quoting Wanted and reference 46/YY/11528/18.

Zafar is part of Crimestoppers' list of the top five most wanted fugitives hiding in the country.

The independent charity is appealing for the public’s help to find the five men, who are wanted for murder, rape and sexual assault, attempted rape, large-scale drug dealing and fraud.

Up to £5,000 is being offered for each of the men for information Crimestoppers receives that leads to their arrest.

Mick Duthie, director of operations at the charity, said: "These wanted individuals have managed to evade justice for too long. They are a danger and need to be found.

"These fugitives could be living or hiding near you, so if you recognise any of them, please contact us urgently. If you’re interested in a reward of up to £5,000, ask for a unique reward code when you contact our charity.
