Police have launched an urgent search for a man who absconded from a secure mental health facility in west London.

Officers said the public should not approach Terrence Mayes, 41, if seen, who absconded from the facility in Southall on September 22.

Mr Mayes had been detained at the facility under the Mental Health Act.

Detectives said that despite an “extensive” investigation, they had been unable to find Mr Mayes, and were now appealing for the public’s help to track him down.

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

Anyone who has seen him is urged not to approach him but to call 999, quoting the reference 5425/22Sep.

Officers also want to hear from anyone who may have information about his whereabouts.
