A former reality TV participant who lauded Pauline Hanson’s immigration policies is now wanted by police on six outstanding arrest warrants for alleged theft and dishonesty offences.
Sutherland Shire police have asked for public assistance to locate Raquel Moore, 30, who appeared on SBS reality series Go Back To Where You Came From in 2011.
The Logie Award-winning series saw six Australians, including Moore, live with refugees and walk in their shoes for 25 days.
“Raquel Moore is wanted by virtue of six outstanding warrants relating to theft and dishonest offences,” police wrote in a public Facebook post.
“Officers from Sutherland Shire Police Area Command have commenced inquiries to locate Ms Moore, and anyone who sees her is urged not to approach her but to contact triple-0.”
A biography of Moore from the SBS series’ official Facebook page said she agreed with Pauline Hanson’s anti-immigration policies.
“Raquel Moore, (then) 21, lives in Sydney with her bikie boyfriend and their 12 show Staffordshire terriers,” the biography stated.
Moore spent several nights with a Burundian refugee family in Wodonga in Victoria’s north before travelling through Africa and meeting some of their relatives.
At the time she lived near Blacktown.
The series is now part of the HSC English curriculum in NSW, and many former high school students recognised Moore’s mugshot in the police Facebook post about her arrest warrant.
“That’s so sad, she had one of the biggest turnarounds,” one Facebook comment read.
In the series’ final episode Moore said her views had “definitely shifted”.
Moore is described as caucasian, between 165cm and 170cm tall and thin with long black hair and blue eyes.
She is known to frequent the Sutherland Shire and particularly Caringbah and Miranda.
