TWO people were arrested on suspicion of criminal damaging relating to stickers advertising prostitution.

Police made the arrests in Lea Bridge Road in Walthamstow on Thursday, April 27.

The duo were cautioned and released after the joint operation between police and council neighbourhood officers.

Business owners in Leytonstone High Road have complained about stickers advertising brothels being stuck to their shutters in recent months.

Waltham Forest Council has threatened to fine shop owners who refuse to remove the ads “in good time”.
