A distress call from JD Sports prompted Redbridge Council's CCTV Team to monitor a gang steaming incident. The team provided real-time updates to the Metropolitan Police, who dispatched officers to the scene. Despite the suspects fleeing, five were captured through coordinated efforts involving immediate CCTV surveillance. Superintendent Clare McCarthy praised the collaboration between the CCTV Team and police, emphasizing the importance of their quick response to prevent further criminal activities in the area. Following the incident, the suspects were bailed pending further investigations.
The joint response to this incident is an excellent example of our great community safety partnership with the local council. The Council's CCTV Team played a vital role in providing real-time intelligence to our police officers on the ground.
Without the quick thinking of the CCTV Team and the fast response time of our officers, this gang could have fled the scene and targeted other retail premises in Ilford.
