No registration | |
Police are looking for two men who were reported leaving Emerald Close on a scooter or motorcycle and heading towards Jasper Road and on to Stansfeld Road at 0640 GMT on Thursday. | |
Detective Chief Inspector Carl Mehta said the scooter or motorcycle did not have a registration plate and was possibly grey or silver in colour. | |
Many people from that area would have been on their way to work, he said. | |
"We are keen to speak to anyone who may have seen Ade, and specifically two men on a scooter or motorcycle. We have sightings of them in the area from around 20 minutes before 7am. | |
"Anyone who may have seen such a vehicle, or have subsequently seen it abandoned, is asked to come forward and report to the incident room, or their local police station." |
