POLICE are appealing for information after a police officer was threatened with a gun in broad daylight.

A moped was stopped for not showing a numberplate at 11am yesterday (Wednesday) in Springfield Drive, Ilford.

The rider then threatened the officer with a handgun and drove off.

The suspect is black, and was dressed in dark clothing. He was wearing a black helmet with red writing on back, and his black moped had a distinctive red box on the rear.

Anyone with information should call Trident on 8217 7362
