Reward offered for info as murderer Thomas McCabe 'unlawfully at large'

The PSNI have issued an appeal to the public to find a criminal who they said is 'unlawfully at large'.

56-year-old Thomas McCabe was imprisoned for life for murder and was then released from prison on license, but had it revoked in January 2018 due to multiple breaches of license conditions, Belfast Live reports.

Detective Constable Julie McVeigh said: "Since then we have conducted a number of detailed enquiries to establish McCabe's whereabouts but unfortunately at this time he remains at large.

"He is described as around 5' 8" tall, of medium build with short grey coloured hair. We believe he has connections to Newry, Newtownabbey and Dublin.

"I would appeal to anyone who has seen Thomas McCabe, or who knows of his whereabouts to contact detectives at Musgrave Police Station on 101.

"I would also appeal directly to Thomas to hand himself in. Information can also be provided to the independent charity Crimestoppers 100% anonymously.

"They are offering a reward of up to £5,000 for information the charity exclusively receives that leads to Thomas McCabe's arrest."

A spokesperson at Crimestoppers said: "Our charity is appealing to anybody with information on Mr McCabe's location to do the right thing and to tell us what you know, 100% anonymously. What you tell us can make all of the difference.

The spokesperson added that assisting a person who is wanted for questioning over a crime can lead to prosecution for that person too.

They said: "You can speak to us anonymously by calling our UK Contact Centre which is open 24/7 on freephone 0800 555 111 or you can use our simple and secure anonymous online form at www.crimestoppers-uk.org. Nobody will know you contacted us, only you and you can be eligible for a reward."
