The Met Police are hunting for Abu Faye, 26, who made a daring escape from Croydon Crown Court last Tuesday.
Race Against Time After Court Escape
At 16:01 on March 17, Faye was spotted on CCTV slipping out of court during a hearing for serious drug offences. Just two minutes later, police were informed he had bolted on foot, vanishing without a trace.
Drug Charges and Guilty Plea
The Hackney man faced a staggering ten charges, including five counts of possession with intent to supply and five for possession of Class A and B drugs. He admitted guilt to the latter half, prompting the judge to order him remanded — but Faye had other plans.
Police Issue Public Warning
- Faye has links to Penge and Cambridge.
- Officers are urgently analysing CCTV and chasing all leads.
- The public is urged not to approach him.
- If spotted, call 999 immediately quoting CAD 4966/17MARCH.
