Police are trying to find a man accused of rape who is wanted after breaching his bail conditions while awaiting trial.
Craig Dorney, 35, from Lewisham in south-east London, is due to stand trial for rape on December 2.
He was placed on court bail ahead of the hearing, but the Met police says a warrant for his arrest was issued on Tuesday after he breached his bail conditions.
Dorney has still not been found, and detectives on Friday issued an appeal to the public urging anyone with information about his whereabouts to get in touch.
Scotland Yard believes he may be sleeping rough in the London area.
DC James Hart, from the Met’s South East area Public Protection team, said: “We would urge anyone with information regarding Dorney’s whereabouts to urgently get in touch with us.
“We believe that he might currently be sleeping rough in and around London.”
Dorney is described as white, about 6ft 1in, and of a slim build. He has a southern Irish accent.
Anyone with information about his whereabouts should call police on 101 or message @MetCC on X quoting CAD 1240/29Jun.
