Two men were arrested last night following a land and air search in Chingford.
A police helicopter was deployed shortly before 5.30pm to search a ‘large wooded area’.
The men were located and followed by the air unit before being picked up by police on the ground.
This morning the Met police could not confirm why the arrests were made.
More to follow.
