"At this stage it is believed the bag was misplaced by on-duty officers a short time before the member of the public located it. The Met's Directorate of Professional Standards has said it is reviewing the incident."
"When they arrived they were really shocked. They looked through the bag carefully and hurriedly took them away. I was told they had been left there by one of Sadiq Khan's security officers, which made sense as he lives here."
"The Met must now take all steps to ensure an incident like this never occurs again."
Five Metropolitan Police officers have been taken off front-line duties following the discovery of a bag containing firearms and a Taser on a London street. The bag was found outside the home of London Mayor Sir Sadiq Khan. It is believed the bag was misplaced by on-duty officers shortly before its discovery. The police are reviewing the incident, which included a sub-machine gun, a pistol, a Taser, and ammunition. A passerby alerted the police after finding the bag, and officers responded quickly to recover the items.
