Police hunt two escaped mental health patients on the run in London

Police are desperately hunting for two mental health patients who are on the run in London as the public are warned not to approach them.

Trevor St Martins, 56, absconded on September 14, while on an escorted visit to the shops from a mental health facility in Kingsbury.

Police attended the scene around 3pm and detectives have since made 'extensive' efforts to find him.

St Martins is described as 6ft tall and of medium build. When he escaped, he was wearing a black top, black jeans and a black hat.

A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said: 'Members of the public are advised not to approach him. For an immediate sighting call 999.'

The hunt comes as another dangerous mental health patient Terrence Mayes, 41, escaped from a secure facility.

Mayes has been on the run since September 22 after he absconded from a secure mental facility in Southall, London.

He had been detained at the facility under the Mental Health Act.

Despite an extensive investigation, officers have been unable to locate Mayes and are now appealing for the public's help.

He has links to Wembley, and it is thought likely that he will be in the west London or north-west London areas.
