Police conducted an operation targeting phone snatching in London, resulting in 15 arrests on various offenses within a 12-hour period. The operation involved following suspects in balaclavas on motorcycles who rode at high speeds on pavements. One unmarked police car was unable to follow a suspect through a road with traffic bollards. Some of the arrests were specifically for phone robbery. Witnesses reported seeing young men in balaclavas on bikes riding at high speeds on pavements. One pair of suspects nearly hit an elderly lady during the pursuit. According to Times home affairs editor Matt Dayton, officers attempted to disarm the man of a knife by kicking his hands, which resulted in the man being kicked in the head after being tasered.
