A suspected county lines drugs dealer with links to Dartford and Erith has been named on a list of most wanted offenders.
Raymond Olabode is being pursued by Met Police as part of efforts to track down high harm offenders connected with a range of violent offences and drug dealing.
The 21-year-old is wanted for being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs following an investigation under The Met's Operation Trigona.
He is described as black, with long dark dreadlocks and a full beard with known links to the Dartford and Erith areas.
It forms part of the annual Autumn Nights campaign to bear down on violence now the evenings are darker.
The 10 suspects are classed as "high harm" as they are either wanted in connection with violent offences, such as robbery and GBH, or they are known to have a violent background.
So far The Met has arrested more than 850 high harm offenders as part of its drive to "take the most dangerous people off the streets".
Last month a huge organised crime crackdown known as Operation Trigona resulted in several raids – and arrests – across south-east London and Kent in connection with the supply of crack cocaine and heroin. Raymond Olabode is wanted in connected with that investigation.
Detective Inspector Dean Purvis, of the Violent Crime Taskforce, said: “We are relentlessly pursuing violent offenders and bringing them to justice so that we can keep our city safe, but we need the help of the public as well.
"Somebody, somewhere knows something about these offenders and I urge you to pass any information to us as soon as possible.
“These individuals have caused harm and unrest in our communities and it is our priority to arrest them to prevent them from causing further destruction.
The detective urged offenders to hand themselves in, adding "We are searching for you day and night and will find you eventually.”
If you have any information you are urged to call the police right away on 101, or 999 if it’s an emergency.
