The New South Wales Government and NSW Police Force have announced a $250,000 reward as an international manhunt continues for Anthony Pele, a 25-year-old man wanted in connection with several serious alleged criminal offences.

The announcement was made on Friday, 6 November 2026, as investigators renewed their efforts to locate the fugitive, who has reportedly been outside Australia for more than three years.

According to NSW Police, Pele is the subject of four outstanding warrants involving serious allegations, including murder, shooting with intent to murder, conspiracy to murder, conspiracy to kidnap and the supply of commercial quantities of prohibited drugs.

Police allege that Pele fled Australia in August 2023 and has since avoided arrest. Investigators believe he may currently be living overseas, although his exact location has not been established.

The newly announced $250,000 reward is being offered for information that leads to his arrest and extradition to Australia.

Detectives attached to the State Crime Command are leading the investigation and working alongside the Australian Federal Police and international law enforcement agencies. The cooperation between authorities is intended to help identify his whereabouts and coordinate efforts to bring him before the Australian courts.

NSW Minister for Police and Counter-terrorism Yasmin Catley said the reward demonstrates the government's commitment to supporting investigators and pursuing people wanted in connection with serious violence.

State Crime Commander Assistant Commissioner Brett Greentree also urged anyone with information about Pele's movements, associates or possible whereabouts to contact authorities.

Police believe information held by people who know the fugitive or have been in contact with him could be important to the investigation. Even details that may initially appear minor could help detectives establish his location.

The investigation is particularly significant because authorities allege that the offences connected with the outstanding warrants involve serious organised criminal activity and violence.

The international nature of the manhunt means investigators are working beyond Australia's borders. Police are relying on cooperation with overseas law enforcement agencies to follow possible leads and identify opportunities for arrest.

Authorities have not publicly confirmed the country where Pele is believed to be residing. His current location remains unknown, and the investigation is continuing.

The NSW Government said the $250,000 reward is intended to encourage people with relevant information to come forward and assist the investigation.

Anyone with information about Anthony Pele is encouraged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit information through the official Crime Stoppers website.

Police have also reminded the public not to share sensitive information through social media comments or NSW Police social media pages.
