Operation Minstead: Night Stalker accused Delroy Grant in court


A man accused of being the Night Stalker sex attacker has appeared in court again this morning (November 19).

Delroy Grant, aged 52, of Brockley Mews, Brockley, was arrested on Sunday (November 15) and has been charged with five rapes, six indecent assaults and 11 burglaries between 1992 and this year.

He appeared at Greenwich Magistrates’ Court on Monday morning but a district judge remanded the married father in custody until today while detectives working on Operation Minstead carried out further inquiries.

Mr Grant has been remanded in custody and will next appear at Woolwich Crown Court for a plea and case management hearing on November 26.

Operation Minstead was set up in 1998 to hunt for a sex attacker dubbed the Night Stalker, who targeted elderly women and men in their homes.

Over the years incidents have taken place in Croydon, Orpington, Downham, Lee, West Wickham, Bickley, Bromley and Beckenham.
