A police operation targeting anti-social behaviour, theft and other offences across London resulted in 117 arrests.
The arrests last Thursday, 17 and Friday, 18 May dubbed Operation Emperor, saw over 200 British Transport Police, Metropolitan Police and City of London Police officers conduct uniform and plain-clothes patrols around stations and at locations across London.
In the City of London there were 14 arrests over the two days for offences including theft, attempted theft, shoplifting and drugs offences.
City of London Police officers also seized five vehicles of drivers who were not driving in accordance with the law, and issued 42 fixed plenty notices for offences including riding a motorcycle without a helmet, driving without wearing a seat belt and cycling through a red light.
T/Ch Insp Hector McKoy headed the police activity in the City of London, he said: “Crime is at a 10 year low in the City of London but we refuse to be complacent.
“Theft and driving offences disrupt the life of the City, which in turn disrupts the lives of law abiding residents, workers and tourists in the Square Mile.
“Operations such as this send out a clear message that we will not tolerate any form of crime in the City.”
