Desperate hunt for patient who escaped mental health facility five days ago as cops urge public to stay away

POLICE are appealing for help to find a man who escaped a mental health facility five days ago.

Terrence Mayes, 41, has been on the run since September 22 after he disappeared from a secure mental facility in Southall, London.

He had been detained at the facility under the Mental Health Act.

Despite an extensive investigation, officers have been unable to locate Terrence Mayes and are now appealing for the public’s help.

He has links to Wembley, and it is thought likely that he will be in the west London or north-west London areas.

Contact the police if you believe you have seen him, know where he is, or have any information that might help officers to locate him.

Do not approach him if you spot him but call 999 and quote reference 5425/22Sep.
