A manhunt is underway to find one of Europe’s most dangerous men, thought to be hiding in Havering. Romanian Constantin Niciu, 34, who is wanted in connection with abducting two men who refused to assist in trafficking women, is being chased by police here and abroad.
His alleged victims were tied up, beaten with a plank of wood and their mobile phones and car stolen.
Niciu, who also goes by the name Claudin Fagas, is also wanted for recall to prison by police in Redbridge.
If caught, Niciu, who police warn should not be approached, will be extradited to face justice abroad.

Extensive police enquiries have not yet revealed their whereabouts.
Det Sgt Peter Rance, from the Met’s extradition unit said: “Maybe you know where these people live, work or socialise?
