A so-called ’spiritual healer’ is being hunted by police in connection with a series of blackmails and high-value frauds.
Detectives fear that a suspected blackmailer and fraudster posing as a spiritual healer may have fled the country.
Det Sgt Mark Sinski said the man, known as Kamal-Ji - which is thought to be an alias - had previously used addresses in Thurmaston, Syston and near to Parker Drive, and said officers believe he may also have carried out frauds in other parts of the UK before moving overseas.
The suspect has advertised his services in Leicestershire by radio and newspaper adverts and on flyers. Subsequently his services have then been recommended by word of mouth with some victims living out of the county.
We are looking into the possibility that the suspect has previously operated in other areas, and may have recommenced his activities elsewhere in the UK.
It is also possible that he may now have left the country.
A picture of a man police would like to speak to in connection with the investigation has been released.
