“An initial arrest enquiry was previously made at the address. However, nobody was home and arrest enquiries were conducted at the later time of 21:55 hrs on Tuesday, 31 October when the arrest was made,” the statement said, adding, “The arrested man was taken to an east London police station where he remains at this time.”

“More than 1,000 officers are providing high visibility patrols across London—particularly where we know communities feel vulnerable.”
