Manhunt to trace absconder missing from Lewisham

Police are making urgent enquiries to locate a prisoner who has absconded from a medical facility in Lewisham.

Anthony Lloyd, 38, was last seen at around 16.10hrs on Friday, 23 October after forcing his way out of the unit. He was seen heading in the direction of Catford.

Lloyd is white, around 5ft 8, of medium build with short dark hair, and was wearing a grey/blue t-shirt, black tracksuit bottoms and white trainers.

Detective Superintendent Melanie Pressley, who is leading the manhunt, said: 

“We are conducting various significant enquiries to find Lloyd and return him to custody.

“We are concerned he poses a risk both to himself and the public, and would urge anyone who sees him to call 999 immediately. Do not approach him.”

“If you have any information – however small – that could help us locate Lloyd, please get in touch with police as a matter of urgency.”

Officers believe Lloyd could be anywhere in London, and he also has links to Surrey, Sussex, Thames Valley, Hampshire, Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Merseyside.

Anyone with information is asked to call 999 quoting CAD4739/23Oct.
