Abdi Waise was convicted of supplying class-B drugs, one count of kidnap and four counts of attempted kidnap

An illegal Somalian immigrant is facing jail after trying to kidnap children by posing as a policeman weeks after being released early from a jail sentence for rape.

Abdi Waise, 28, was supposed to be deported after serving six years of an eight-year sentence for raping a young woman he snatched off the street in 2008.

But a deportation order from 2013 was stayed after the jobless migrant, who came to Britain at the age of ten, appealed on human rights grounds.

Only three weeks after the sex offender was released on licence in January this year, he struck again – kidnapping one schoolgirl and trying to abduct four other children over two-and-a half hours as they walked to school in Hornsey, north London.

Waise struck on January 18 this year. His kidnap attempts started at 7.30am when he chased a ten-year-old boy, offering him £10 and cannabis if he went with him.

A short time later he stopped a schoolgirl and tried to search her bag claiming to be a police officer. He followed her until the girl pointed him out to her parents. 

Minutes later he approached another girl, grabbing her wrist, telling her he was a police officer looking for his daughter, but she managed to wriggle free.

At 8.10am, Waise blocked the pathway of two girls and accused them of buying drugs. He attempted to lure them a nearby garden so he could search them, but they ran off.
