cops at work arresting two suspects in a primary school ground at 4am in the morning. The police had chased the two suspects down Commercial Road East London and the two men scaled a fence to try and escape. The mistake they made was the school grounds was a trap they could not get out of. The police surrounded the grounds and eventually rounded them up. What you see here is the police using the Fire Brigade to grind the lock off so they could take the two suspects into custody. the problem was that it was not until 11am when I notified the school that they realised this school gate was not locked. The gate opens onto a playground. The School is for children of Primary/junior school age and are disabled and the head teacher was concerned that a child could have got out onto the street through this unsecured gate. The cops made no attempt to notify the school of the danger they had created by not replacing the lock they had removed. Rather puts to bed their slogan: "Working for a safer London."
