Daniel Khalife cops confirm NO official sightings of escaped ‘terrorist’ as they reveal route of van he used to flee
COPS hunting Daniel Khalife have confirmed that there have been no official sightings of the escaped suspected terrorist.
The Met Police has now revealed the route of the van Khalife used to flee Wandsworth Prison in south London yesterday morning – with 150 officers now chasing him.
Khalife is thought to have escaped by clinging onto straps underneath a delivery van.
The van left Wandsworth Prison at 7.32am, taking a right turn out of gates onto Heathfield Road.
It then turned left onto Magdalen Road and left againonto Trinity Road (A214) up to the Wandsworth Roundabout – taking the first exit onto Swandon Way (A217).
It then turned left onto Old York Road (past Wandsworth Town station) then left onto Fairfield Street, and right onto Wandsworth High Street (A3).
It stayed straight ahead onto West Hill and then on to Upper Richmond Road (A205).
The van was stopped by cops chasing Khalife at 8.15am on Upper Richmond Road – over an hour after Khalife was declared missing at 7.50am.
Prison officers did not notify cops about his escape until 8.15am.
Commander Dominic Murphy said: “Since yesterday, over 150 officers and staff have been working around the clock on apprehending Khalife.
“We have issued a nationwide alert that has resulted in increased security at our ports and borders, however currently there have not been any confirmed sightings.
“I recognise and am fully aware of the impact these measures are having on the public. We are working to ensure as minimal disruption as possible.
“It is crucial for the public to help us with this search and to call us immediately if they have any information on the whereabouts of Khalife.”
A spokesman added that Khalife’s previous military experience may mean he may be more aware of efforts to catch him.
He is not thought to be a threat to the public – but if you see him, do not approach him but instead call 999 immediately.
