Earlier this month, police issued a £500 reward for information leading to Mazirel’s arrest through Sussex Police’s Facebook page.

But Mazirel commented back on the post: “To be honest I’m a bit upset I’m only worth 500.

“If you up the reward we might be able to come to some sort of arrangement.

“Until then I’ll continue to enjoy my freedom.”

Sussex Police replied on the post: “Lovely to hear from you Dean.

“It looks like you’ve cut your hair?

“We’d love to see it in person!

“Don’t hesitate to stop by your local police station for a chat.”

Mazirel had served time in prison for burglary, assault and criminal damage and was released in November 2017, according to police.

The 33-year-old was last known to be living in Marine Parade in Brighton but has not been seen at the address since December and has connections across the Adur and Worthing areas, police said.

Anyone who has seen Mazirel should contact police online here quoting reference 1371 of 12/12/17.
