A convicted burglar who preyed on the elderly and absconded from prison has links to Surrey.
Peter Kerrigan, 28, known as Hackney’s most wanted criminal, was jailed for six years for numerous distraction burglaries at the homes of elderly victims.
But when on escorted leave from prison last year, Kerrigan threatened the member of staff and escaped.
He has not been seen since.
Kerrigan is known to travel across the UK, including Kent, Lincolnshire, Leicestershire and Hampshire and has family and friends in Ireland.
Surrey Police officers also warned he has linked to Surrey.
Anyone with information or sightings of Kerrigan should call 999.
