The large police presence in Collier Row, described as around 30 officers, was intended to support and reassure the community rather than respond to any specific incident.
Residents were confused about the police activity, with reports of officers and sniffer dogs near local landmarks, such as the Colley Rowe Inn and Churchill's Fish & Chips.
A spokesperson from the Metropolitan Police emphasized that this was not in response to any major incident but rather a proactive approach to community safety.
The initiative was characterized as high visibility policing, aiming to provide a sense of security and reassurance amongst residents.
