Commander Jon Savell of the Metropolitan Police said: “Today’s early morning activity involved armed officers targeting addresses linked to Ezedi as our investigation continues to find this dangerous man.
“This is just part of our work, a team of 100 officers in London are continuing to progress a range of enquiries, linking in with other forces and agencies. This includes meticulous work to examine CCTV footage, and we have now traced Ezedi’s movements for another 30 minutes.
“Thanks once more to all those members of the public who continue to contact us with information, we are hugely grateful. Officers at the scene handed out 250 leaflets and spoke to many people in the local area last night as we appealed for any further witnesses to the horrific events of a week ago to come forward. We also visited local Afghan restaurants and spoke to members of the local residents’ association.
“People were pleased to see us and I would like to thank everyone who spoke to us. Please keep the calls coming – we are following up every single piece of information.
“You can speak to the investigation team via our hotline on 020 7175 2784, or for an immediate sighting dial 999. A £20,000 reward remains on offer for information leading to Ezedi’s arrest.”
