A 52-YEAR-OLD man accused of being the Night Stalker has appeared in court again today (November 26).

Delroy Grant, of Brockley Mews, Brockley, was arrested on November 15 and has been charged with five rapes, six indecent assaults and 11 burglaries between 1992 and this year.

Wearing a burgundy long sleeved t-shirt he appeared at Woolwich Crown Court for a preliminary hearing.

The married father spent part of the 25 minute hearing looking around the court room.

At other points he was seen to be looking down at the floor.

Grant has been remanded in custody and is next due to appear at the Old Bailey for a plea and case management hearing on February 8.

Operation Minstead was set up in 1998 to hunt for a sex attacker dubbed the Night Stalker, who targeted elderly women and men in their homes.

Over the years incidents have taken place in Orpington, Downham, Lee, West Wickham, Bickley, Bromley and Beckenham.

Pensioners in Sidcup, Catford and Forest Hill were also targeted.
