Can you help find missing convict?

Police in Barking and Dagenham are appealing for the public’s help in tracing Paul Hoque, aged 22. He is originally from Dagenham and now has no fixed abode, but is thought to spend time in Barking and Romford. Paul Hoque is described as a white male, 5ft 9ins in height and of chubby build with short black hair.

Hoque failed to appear at Barkingside Magistrates’ Court on 8th June to face charges of possessing a knife and possessing Class A drugs with intent to supply. His failure to appear has triggered a recall to prison, where he was serving sentences for knife and drugs offences.

PC Ben Forbes from Barking and Dagenham’s Gang Unit said: “Paul Hoque is seeking to evade police and the criminal justice system. Police will do everything in their power to bring offenders to justice and I would ask for the public’s help in locating and apprehending Hoque.”

If anyone may have seen Paul Hoque they are asked to call police in Barking and Dagenham on 101. To remain anonymous, call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
