A migrant sex offender who was mistakenly released from Wandsworth prison has been arrested.
Brahim Kaddour-Cherif, a 24-year-old Algerian national, was arrested in Islington after being spotted by a member of the public just before 11.30am, the Metropolitan Police said. “Officers responded immediately and he was arrested,” the force said on X.
Kaddour-Cherif was accidentally released from HMP Wandsworth in south London on October 29 when he was supposed to be in custody awaiting trial. Police were informed of the mistake only on Tuesday, prompting the manhunt.
