Police hunt for two men mistakenly released from prison
Published: 11/5/2025

Police in London are searching for two prisoners who were mistakenly released from Wandsworth Prison in separate incidents—a sex offender named Brahim Kaddour-Cherif and convicted fraudster William Smith. This comes after a recent similar incident involving a migrant sex offender. The Justice Secretary faces scrutiny for failing to prevent such errors despite promising additional measures after the previous release.
