Two teenagers were arrested and a pair of blades seized in Croydon after police chased the pair off an electric scooter last night (Monday, January 25).
The chase happened after officers patrolling with the Met Police's Violent Crime Taskforce signalled to two teenagers riding an E-Scooter on Stanford Road (SW16) to stop.
Instead, they seemingly lost control of the scooter and ran off, throwing away a bag that was later recovered by the police patrol.
A spokesperson for the Met Police described what happened next.
