Abu Faye, 26, sparked a major manhunt after escaping mid-hearing from Croydon Crown Court on March 17. The incident occurred when he realised the judge intended to remand him in custody. Faye, who had admitted to drug possession, fled before entering pleas on more serious charges, including supplying Class A drugs such as cocaine and MDMA, along with ketamine and cannabis. Charged with 10 offences, he escaped on foot, prompting an urgent response from Metropolitan Police. Authorities are analysing CCTV and urging public assistance, warning people not to approach him.
