A MAN wanted in connection with a violent kidnap may be in Waltham Forest or Redbridge, police have revealed.

Police want to speak to Terry Skinner, 24, also known as Henry James Cooper, about the kidnap of man rescued at a cannabis factory in Edgware, north London.

Officers say the kidnap, in which the cuprits demanded a large sum of money and seriously injured their victim, was violent and premediated.

Mr Skinner is known to frequent Walthamstow, Redbridge, Ilford, Newham and Chelmsford.

The public are advised not to approach him but to contact police on 999.

Detective Constable Jason Niblett said: "This kidnap was particularly violent and the victim suffered a terrifying ordeal. I would urge anyone who may have seen Terry Skinner or who has any other information to contact us."

Six people have already been charged in connection with the incident and are due to be tried at Southwark Crown Court in March.

Anyone with information should contact DC Jason Niblett on 020 7230 8933 or alternatively information can be provided anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
