A police van gave chase to a Smart car driven by a not-so-smart suspect. Officers skilfully weaved in and out of rush‑hour traffic to apprehend the driver, who mounted pavements and ran red lights at dangerous speeds. Just because it’s a van, it doesn’t mean it can’t keep up!

Two men have been arrested this morning in connection with our ongoing investigation into an arson attack in Golders Green. More information 👇 news.met.police.uk/news/two-men-a…

Over in Tottenham, one arrest was made at Spurs vs Forest for tailgating. He was released on bail pending further investigation. All those arrested on suspicion of this offence now risk facing football banning orders and hefty fines on conviction.

In total, there was a huge reduction in offences at this year’s final. Officers made 20 arrests in total including seven for affray and one for assault on an emergency worker. Total arrests were down from 91 at last year's #CarabaoCupFinal.

@BobBlackman We are aware of several incidents on Ealing Road, and our officers are undertaking additional patrols to provide reassurance. Our focus is, as always, to protect all communities, support victims and keep the area safe.

Since I raised this in Parliament, the violence has not stopped. Hindu and Sikh businesses in Wembley have been smashed up, men beaten in restaurant toilets, four men stabbed on Ealing Road. The perpetrators of the original Holi attack remain largely at large. #BritishHindus
