Police urge Pope to give himself up and appeal to anyone who knows of his whereabouts to report his location to police.

Police will arrest and prosecute anyone who is found to be assisting an offender who has committed an offence. This could involve hiding an offender, assisting an offender in avoiding arrest and lying to police to protect the offender from investigation and prosecution.
