Police are hunting a man after an elderly woman was robbed in south London.

The Metropolitan Police said a woman, aged in her 80s, was robbed at 6.20pm on October 28 in the Stockwell area.

Adrian Gordon, 46, from Lambeth is wanted for questioning in connection with the robbery. Police said he should not be approached by members of the public. 

He is described as black, 5ft 11ins tall, of medium build, with receding shaved hair. He has previously known to have gold capped top front teeth.

Detective Sergeant Chris Shepherd, from the Central South Command Unit, said: "We have carried out extensive enquiries to locate Gordon and these are ongoing. I would like to remind the public that harbouring a wanted offender is an offence.

“I would urge anyone who knows of his whereabouts to contact police so that his attempts to evade justice can be stopped. I would also encourage Gordon to hand himself in.  

“He should not be approached by members of the public. If you have information on his movements or whereabouts, please call police on 101 quoting reference Cad 5917/28Oct20. If seen, please call police via 999."

Alternatively call Crimestoppers anonymously via 0800 555 111 or tweet police via @MetCC.
