A Bexley man who was a suspect from the original Stephen Lawrence murder inquiry is being hunted by police investigating an alleged multi-million pound drug deal.
Jamie Acourt, 39, is alleged to be part of a drug dealing gang with connections to the capital and the north east who sold large amounts of cannabis.
A Scotland Yard spokesman said Acourt was wanted "in connection with an investigation, namely, conspiracy to supply drugs".
Acourt has always maintained his innocence over the killing of the 18-year-old, who was stabbed to death in Eltham in 1993.
In 2012 Gary Dobson and David Norris were convicted of the murder and jailed for life.
