Plea to help find taxi driver wanted in kidnapping probe
Police think Bury cabbie may now be in Pakistan
Detectives are hunting a taxi driver over an alleged kidnapping with the intent of committing a sex attack.
Atif Rafiq, 32, is wanted in connection with an incident in a cab in the Bury area in September last year.
Officers have tried to find him for several months, but he has not surrendered to police.
It is believed Rafiq may now be in Pakistan, but officers cannot rule out that he has stayed in Greater Manchester.
Detectives say he is wanted over an allegation of kidnapping with intent to commit a sexual offence dating back to September 2013.
Det Con Chris Maddocks, from the Greater Manchester Police Serious Sexual Offences Unit, said: “Rafiq worked as a taxi driver in the Bury area and someone will know him or will have seen him or continue to be in contact with him.
“I would appeal for those individuals with knowledge of him to come forward, either by calling me directly or Crimestoppers anonymously, as it is absolutely imperative that we find him.”
Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
