He is put in handcuffs while they carry out a full body search, as witnessed by a Metro.co.uk reporter. No drugs, knives or weapons were found – just one example of the tens of thousands of searches that do not end with a ‘positive outcome’, as it’s called by Scotland Yard . There were 128,796 searches for suspected drugs from June 2021 to June 2022, and the Met found drugs on 33,850 occasions.

Nathan Smith, 28, was wanted in connection with the killing of Algerian Deliveroo and Uber Eats worker Takieddine ‘Taki’ Boudhane in Finsbury Park, north London , in January 2020. After running from justice and spending time in Austria, Switzerland and Portugal, Smith was finally arrested in Lisbon in June 2021 and brought back to the UK. The Old Bailey heard the 30-year-old Algerian national and the driver of a white van were not known to each other, but had come into conflict on the road. Julian Evans, QC, prosecuting, said: ‘From the CCTV footage, it would appear that Takieddine and Smith exchanged words [and] from the events that followed, the encounter was not a friendly one.’ Both their vehicles stopped in traffic, with Smith ‘aggressively’ climbing from his van armed with a knife and approaching Takieddine ‘at speed’. … [Read more...] about Plumber ‘stabbed Deliveroo driver to death before fleeing to Europe’
