Mahmood Ahmad missing for over a month as police continue hunt
DETECTIVES investigating the disappearance of a Watford man whose severed thumb was found three days after he was reported missing have released CCTV footage of his car.
Mahmood Ahmad has not been seen since he left work at a kebab house in Watford on 7 March.
CCTV footage released by Hertfordshire Police shows Mr Ahmad’s car, a black Citroen C2, in Pitfield Street, Hackney just before 1am on 7 March.
Police believe he was kidnapped from outside his home on Radlett Road hours later.
Three days later Mr Ahmad’s dismembered thumb was found in Ilford.
Detective Chief Inspector Mel Burn, of the Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit, said Mr Ahmad’s family were desperate for answers into his disappearance.
“A month on from when police received the missing persons call about Mahmood from his family, we are renewing our appeal for information,” he said.
“We are hoping this fresh footage will jog people’s memories about what they may have seen around the time of his disappearance.
“This is a very difficult time for Ahmad’s family, to still have no news, and your information could help to finally give them the answers they so desperately need about him.”
