Police are desperately hunting for a woman thought to be connected to the discovery of a cannabis farm and two “slaves”.
South Yorkshire Police have issued a 999 warning for the wanted woman Ying Li, 33, described as an East Asian woman of a slim build and around 5ft 4ins tall, with straight dark brown hair.
Li is wanted in connection with reports of the production of cannabis and modern slavery in Sheffield, in addition to immigration offences.
Officers executed a warrant at an address on Fort Hill Road on April 15 and found a cannabis factory, as well as two people who are believed to be victims of modern slavery. With the pair being safeguarded, police have now turned their attention to finding Li.
A spokesperson from South Yorkshire Police said: “We believe Ying is still in the UK and has spent time in Sheffield this year. She has previously lived in Bournemouth.
“We are keen to speak to anyone who has seen or heard from Li or knows where she may be staying.”
What to do if you spot Ying Li
South Yorkshire Police have requested that if you see Li, do not approach her; instead, dial 999 immediately.
If you have information that could help police find her, you can report online or by calling 101. Please quote investigation number 14/70547/25 when you get in touch.
A spokesperson from South Yorkshire Police said: “We understand that not everyone wants to speak directly to police. If this is you, please be aware that you can report information completely anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers by calling 0800 555 111 or by visiting their website.
“You will not be asked to provide any details and no one will know you have contacted them.”
