Volvo Used in E13 Shooting Found Torched After Days on the Run
Stolen Volvo Linked to Fatal Shooting in East London
A white Volvo 4×4 SUV, stolen from Manor Park, E12, on Monday, 14 June, is at the centre of a murder investigation. Police believe the vehicle stayed in the local area until it was used in a shooting in Raymond Road, E13, on Wednesday, 18 August.
The car was later found ablaze in the early hours of Thursday, 19 August, adding fuel to the serious probe.
Detective Pleads for Witnesses to Come Forward
Detective Inspector Louise Caveen from the Met’s Specialist Crime Command said: “Discovering more about this car and who was driving it before the shooting is vital. We urge anyone in Upton Park and Forest Gate to check their CCTV, dashcams, or doorbell footage for the Volvo.”
She added: “Think back to last week. Did you see this Volvo parked near your house or driving suspiciously? Even small details could help us bring justice for Otas’ family.”
“If you were near Raymond Road on the night of the shooting and haven’t spoken to police yet, please get in touch or contact Crimestoppers anonymously.”
