This is the dramatic moment a suspected drug dealer flees a courthouse when told he was being remanded into custody.
A shocked barrister watches as Abu Faye, 26, sprints past her to the exit of Croydon Crown Court in south London.
CCTV shows Faye making his escape on foot at about 4pm on March 17. He has not been seen for two weeks.
He had been charged with five counts of possession with intent to supply and five counts of possession of Class A cocaine and MDMA, known as methylenedioxymethamphetamine, and Class B drugs ketamine and cannabis.
Faye is orginally from Hackney but now of Glebe Farm Drive, Trumpington in Cambridgeshire.
He pleaded guilty to the latter five charges, prompting Judge Elizabeth Lowe to seek his remand.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: “Detectives have been conducting urgent enquiries, including analysing CCTV, and are working at pace to locate him.
“They are now appealing to the public for help in doing so.”
Faye also has links to Penge and Cambridge.
Anyone who sees him or has information that may assist police, are urged not approach Faye but to call 999, quoting CAD 4966/17MARCH.
