Detectives searching for man who caused 'serious injury' while driving dangerously in Wandsworth

Appeals for information to trace a man who failed to appear in court after causing serious injury while dangerous driving in Wandsworth has been renewed by detectives.

Officers want to speak to anyone who may have seen 23-year-old Ridwan Ali or knows information on his whereabouts.

It is feared he may now have travelled to the Manchester area.

Ali failed to appear at Kingston Crown Court back in October to answer two charges of causing serious injury by dangerous driving and driving without insurance.

The charges relate to a road traffic collision on Garratt Lane in Wandsworth in July 2020.

A warrant for Ali's arrest was issued by the court when he failed to appear.

Detective Sergeant Gareth Roberts, from the South West Command Unit, said:

"Despite it being seven months since Ridwan Ali failed to appear at court, we remain determined to find him.

"I am certain there are people who know where he is, and I would urge them to contact us. I would also encourage Ali to do the right thing and attend the nearest police station."

Anyone who has information concerning his whereabouts should contact police on 101 or Tweet @MetCC quoting Cad 2347/21Jul20 or email [email protected].
