Police are hunting a missing money-launderer from Northfleet who faces a seven-year jail term.

Kent Police are appealing for information on the whereabouts of Uyi Egiebor who failed to show up for sentencing.

Egiebor, formerly of Black Eagle Drive, was sentenced on Monday (September 29) at Maidstone Crown Court to seven years after he was convicted of laundering £1.1 million between January 1, 2012, and September 5, 2012.

The 31-year-old did not appear at court and officers are searching for him.

Anybody with information on Egiebor's location is asked to call 101 quoting XY/5823/14.
