A MANHUNT is underway to find a suspected fraudster who uses multiple identities.

The Metropolitan Police are appealing to the public for help in tracing 35-year-old Tyrone Somerszaul, who is known to have links with the Chigwell area.

Officers say he has previously operated under the names Tyrone Simmons, Tyrone Myrie, Dean Miller, Dean Carter and Sean Kimani Taylor.

Somerszaul is also believed to have links with various parts of London including Hackney, Hornsey, Edmonton, Greenwich and Richmond, as well as Nottingham, Manchester and Kent.

There is a possibility that he may have gone abroad.

He is described as black, 5'8", of thin build, with a south London accent.

He has a tattoo on the left side of his neck saying "unstoppable" and a gold tooth to his upper right side.

Anyone with any information is urged to contact DC Matt Foy from Hackney Police on 020 7275 4060.
