Traffic cops are hunting a driver, suspected of leading police on a 100mph chase through the streets of east London, after refusing to pull over.
Detectives from the Metropolitan Police's Roads and Transport Policing Command (RTPC) are appealing for help to trace 30 year-old Skye Anderson-King.
On Thursday, June 1 the driver of a Black Audi S1 failed to stop for police.
An authorised pursuit was initiated on the A13 Newham Way, Canning Town, and officers pursued the driver, who went through red traffic lights against the flow of the traffic.
The driver reached speeds of 100mph in a 30mph speed limit, posing a substantial risk to other road users and pedestrians in the area.
Due to the dangerous manner of driving and risk exposed to members of the public, the decision was made to end the pursuit in Dock Road, East Ham.
The vehicle was later found abandoned in nearby Renfrew Close.
Anderson-King is known to have links to the Brent and Newham areas.
Detective Superintendent Andy Cox said: “We urgently wish to speak with Skye Anderson-King in relation to an incident in which a driver of a Black Audi S1 failed to stop for police.
“The vehicle reached speeds of 100mph in a 30mph zone at a time when pedestrians and cyclists were present.
“Such driving puts the public at considerable risk and incidents like this are taken very seriously.”
Anyone who has any information on the whereabouts of Anderson-King is asked to contact MetCC on 101 or tweet @MetCC.
