Police say they are refusing to give up on finding a suspected paedophile from London who has been on the run for nearly nine years.

Ali Hasan Soyer, 59, was arrested on suspicion of possessing/making indecent images of children in 2006.

He was bailed but failed to return to a police station on a date in November later that year.

Scotland Yard said its officers had exhausted "numerous" lines of enquiry, prompting the force make a Crimewatch appeal tonight for public help in tracing him.

He is originally from North Cyprus but has links to south London and previously lived in Southwark.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Crimewatch line on 0500 600 600 or Met detectives directly on 020 8217 6446.
