Five people were arrested last night after an attempted burglary at a school.
Despite telling more than 73,000 followers on Twitter the MPS has not released any more information to the Guardian.
The arrest comes as a number of schools in Waltham Forest and Epping Forest have been targeted in the past month.
Last week 16 laptops worth £300 were stolen from Upshire Primary School in Waltham Abbey.
