Sayed Hersi, a 47-year-old from Birmingham, holds the unsettling record as the longest-serving individual on West Midlands Police’s (WMP) public most wanted list. His mugshot has been viewed over 140,000 times online, yet his whereabouts remain a complete mystery.
Since first appearing on the radar in June 2020, Hersi has evaded all attempts at capture. Police have confirmed he is wanted for breaching a court order, but details about the case remain scarce. Over six years, multiple appeals for information have yielded no concrete leads, leaving detectives puzzled and frustrated.
It is believed Hersi may have gone into hiding, possibly altering his appearance or fleeing abroad to avoid detection. West Midlands Police have urged the public to come forward with any information, emphasizing the importance of community assistance by contacting their Live Chat, dialing 101, or reaching out anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 with the reference 20BW/262577U/19.
