His wife was also threatened by two of the intruders, who tried to tape her to a chair during the raid.
Police describe Pawlowichz, who is 6ft, stocky, bow-legged and walks with a limp
We are calling for members of the public, in particular the Polish community, to assist us in tracing Pawlowichz's whereabouts. We believe that he may make an attempt to flee from the UK to Poland, and at present we are in direct liaison with the Polish authorities, UK Border Agency and Interpol and a co-ordinated effort to detain Pawlowichz is under way.
- Detective Inspector Dan O'Sullivan, Met Police
