Overview
- Abu Faye, 26, remains at large nearly two weeks after he ran from Croydon Crown Court during a hearing, and police urge anyone who sees him to call 999.
- Court CCTV shows him leaving courtroom 8 and exiting the building on foot as the session continued.
- He had pleaded guilty to five drug possession charges and also faces five counts of possession with intent to supply, and he was being held on remand.
- Police say he wore an all-black tracksuit when he fled, has dreadlocks, appears tall, is from Hackney, and has links to Penge and Cambridge.
- The escape follows another recent custody case in which Daniel Boakye was later arrested in France, underscoring rare but worrying lapses that draw public concern.
