A CONVICTED offender who fled Nottingham before his trial may now be in Luton, police believe.
Guramit Singh Kalirai (pictured), 31, of Ullswater Crescent, Bramcote, was sentenced in his absence at Nottingham Crown Court last month.
He was found guilty of an attempted robbery at Simply Hydro, in Wigwam Lane, Hucknall, on Thursday, May 2, and sentenced to six-and-a-half years in prison. The court heard that Kalirai, along with two accomplices, entered the shop at about 12.30pm and targeted an assistant, They pinned him to the ground and bound him while making threats to slash his throat.
When Kalirai failed to appear at an earlier hearing on September 17, a warrant was issued for his arrest.
A police spokesman said it was thought he could be in the Luton area but detectives were keen for anyone who saw him to get in touch.
Anyone with information should call police on 101.
