The first appeal last December was swamped with hundreds of comments from amorous admirers hoping to catch him before police officers did.

Uploading a smouldering mugshot of the bearded, tattooed and muscle-bound Rimmer in a tight-fitting grey Nike T-shirt for the second time in October in a renewed appeal was met with a similar response, with many saying they would help the police look.

A spokesman for Humberside Police said that their wanted appeal is still active and that anybody with any information should contact them on 101 or via Crimestoppers.
