We have seen an increase in cycle thefts over the past few weeks. We are thoroughly investigating these offences and have obtained CCTV images of some suspects. We will now be seeking to arrest these suspects.

We would like to thank our MPSSpecials colleagues for volunteering their own time to assist on Westminster Bridge. We had some early activities involving the illegal gamblers, but for most of the afternoon our colleagues have kept it clear ^Sgt Watson #SpecialContribution

We are being assisted by our colleagues from MPSSpecials who volunteer their time to support their local community. SC Phillips had cause to stop a male who tried to force his way through the barriers without paying.
