Officers on the ground and our eyes in the sky – thanks to their efforts, they were able to pursue and detain a suspected drug dealer. You can’t outrun a helicopter.

A suspect attempted to escape on a stolen moped, even throwing a helmet at officers during the pursuit! When that failed, he abandoned the moped and discarded two knives over a wall, before being safely detained by officers. He was arrested, charged and sentenced to 15 months

If you pass your driving test then remember to notify the DVLA. Unfortunately one person missed the deadline and will now have to take their test again. Things may have changed since they last passed in....... 1984 You read that right.... 41 years on a provisional licence

A man ran from an M&S in Romford with a basket of stolen goods. Officers chased him down on bikes, donated by Romford BID and built by Smyths Toys. This is community policing in action, helping keep local people and businesses safe.
