Latest update on London disorder

More than 1,000 people have now been charged in connection with the violence and disorder earlier this month.

In total, more than 1,700 people have been arrested following a wide-reaching investigation led by the Metropolitan Police.

Throughout the unrest, the City of London Police supported the operation to keep London safe, as well as dedicating significant resources to protecting the Square Mile and its community.

The force also worked hard to keep the community updated, especially businesses in the Square Mile.

Assistant Commissioner Frank Armstrong has thanked the City’s business community for its support, particularly in releasing Special Constables for duty. You can read the Assistant Commissioner’s comments here.
