At 4.01pm on March 17, Faye was caught on CCTV making a slick getaway during his hearing for serious drug charges. Just two minutes later, cops were alerted he had fled on foot, disappearing without a trace.
Drug Dealer Flees Despite Guilty Plea
The Hackney man faced 10 serious charges, including five counts of possession with intent to supply and five for Class A and B drugs. He pleaded guilty to the possession offences, leading the judge to order him held on remand. But Faye clearly had other ideas.
