A man who escaped a mental health clinic has been found.
Reece Burton, 25, was being kept at the North London Clinic, in Church Street, Edmonton, after being convicted of grievous bodily harm with intent.
He went missing on November 20 but has now been found.
Detective Superintendent Simon Warwick led the investigation and said: “At 3pm on Friday, 27 November, officers from Essex Police entered an address in the Chelmsford area and detained Burton on suspicion of escaping from lawful custody.
“This has ended an intensive manhunt. Police in Enfield have worked in partnership with central MPS resources and Essex Police to safeguard his return. Burton has now been returned to custody where he will no longer pose a threat to the public or himself."
