HARROW Police have appealed for help catching two convicted criminals who are on the run.

Romanian national Valentin Apostol, 32, was jailed for the burglary of a central London office, but was released in September 2008 on licence.

He last checked in with police on February 18 this year, but has not been seen since which is a breach of the terms of his licence.

Teodor Ficuta, 22, was caught red-handed in June last year trying to steal money from a pensioner who was using a cashpoint in Pinner.

He was wrestled to the ground by undercover cops after a chase along the High Street, in which he knocked a 65-year-old woman against a set of railings leaving her with a gash on her forehead.

Ficuta has also breached the terms of his licence following his early release from a ten-month jail term by not regularly contacting police.

Police have issued warrants for the arrests of both men and have issued photos in an appeal for information to help catch them.

Anyone with information can call 0300 123 1212, or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
