Police Hunt Member Of Notorious Adams Family

Police are hunting a member of London's notorious Adams family after a man was gunned down in the capital.

Patrick Adams is believed to have travelled abroad with his wife Constance, Sky's crime correspondent Martin Brunt said.

The couple are wanted in connection with an attempted murder in Islington, north London, in 2013.

A 51-year-old man was shot in the chest as he sat in his black BMW X5 car, after being approached by a man and a woman.

He was taken by London Ambulance Service to an east London hospital where he was treated for his injuries for over a month.

It is believed that the Adams' left the country soon after the shooting. European Arrest Warrants have been obtained for the pair.

It is understood the couple may be in Holland or Spain, Brunt said.

The Adams family, from north London, has been linked to crimes in the capital for many years and are known to some as the "A-team".

Detective Inspector Glenn Butler, from the Met's Trident and Area Crime Command, said: "I am appealing for anyone with information about where the Adams' are living to contact us as a matter of urgency.

"It is apparent by the nature of this violent crime that they need to be traced and interviewed by police.

"We treat any information that is passed to us with the greatest of confidence."

Anyone with information is asked to contact officers via 0208 358 0711, 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
