I just wanted to thank you all for your support, there is CCTV footage which is being reviewed but will need to wait out as to whether the culprits can be identified and whether it will lead to arrests. The British media have been amazing in their coverage of this incident, I can't thank you all enough just for even sharing this story. @antmiddleton @Nigel_Farage @AdamBrooksMedia @TysonfuryFury

Last night scum stole the statue of my Grandfather Teddy Baldock Britain's youngest ever World Boxing Champion. The statue was unveiled outside the Langdon Park DLR Station in Poplar, East London. Years of work and a stunning work of art by the sculptor, the late Carl Payne will be sold for scrap and melted down. Please retweet in case we can recover it.

@MPSTowerHam and #THEOs supported a vulnerable mother and child after her phone was stolen. Officers offered comfort and support at the Town Hall and completed a full walk through of local blocks. Phone theft can be very distressing, our officers are here to help.

During a joint stop-site operation, #THEOs and @MPSTowerHam Tower Hamlets Task Force stopped a moped. The rider had no licence or insurance. Officers seized the moped and found 5 bags of cannabis during a search. The individual was arrested.

@ScarcityStudios You're now spreading two different conclusions in one post? So did she die or did she not? Why are you spreading a video with someone saying the police killed the lady but then add the caption stating the met police didn't kill the lady and she's just sustained injuries.

Metropolitan police have confirmed a woman didn’t die while being arrested but suffered injuries “from a fall” before police contact, she was arrested for assault on a male inside a supported living complex in Tower hamlets.

@ScarcityStudios This is not true. Please find an update on the incident below.

A witness has claimed a woman has died while being arrested by police last night at 8pm in Tower hamlets on Campbell Road. More updates to follow.
