A man who may have vital information about a missing British millionaire has been caught on CCTV in Ponders End.

Police released the images today, which were taken outside Sainsbury's supermarket in Crown Road on Tuesday, July 10, at approximately 2.55pm.

The pictures could help police solve the mysterious disappearance of 50-year-old businesswoman Carole Waugh from Marylebone, who may have been kidnapped for her money.

At the same time the CCTV images were taken, a bank card belonging to Ms Waugh was used at a cash machine.





Since she was last seen in London on May 4, a number of fraudulent transactions have been made from her account.

Three women have impersonated Ms Waugh and a man has also posed as her brother to try and sell her £650,000 flat in Tressard Court, Harrowby Street.



Ms Waugh, who made her fortune in an oil company in Libya, has never disappeared before and her behaviour is considered out of character.



Ms Waugh's brother, Chris Waugh, 53, is appealing for information which may lead to his sister’s safe return.

He said: "We are all very proud of my sister. We are from a mining community in the north east and Carole wanted to improve herself and take any opportunities that life offered her.

“She is very focussed, strong and driven and her big break came when she got a job in an oil company working in Libya, which she loved, returning to London in 2008.”

He last saw his sister during Easter time in Durham, and said there was “nothing” to suggest she would go missing.



He added: “It was all very strange and completely out of character because my sister rings my mother every other day and suddenly, within days of getting together at Easter, the phone calls just stopped.

"We are all very concerned about Carole. Her disappearance is completely out of character and we are extremely anxious and afraid for her welfare.”



He has asked anyone who knows his sister to come forward to help locate Ms Waugh “sooner rather than later.”



DCI John McFarlane of the Homicide and Serious Command is leading the investigation.

He said: "I'm very concerned for her safety and I appeal to anyone who has known her since she returned from Libya in 2008 to get in touch with us as soon as possible.

"Ms Waugh had a circle of friends and I have spoken to a number of them; however, I need to speak to more so that I can build a complete picture of Carole's life, that includes anyone who has met her socially or personally."

Eight arrests have been made so far in connection with the inquiry to be bailed until later this year. One man has been charged as part of the investigation.
