The Met arrested members of the City of Westminster’s Night Safety team. They are volunteers. They were pulled last night at 2am and have been held for 14 hours. One of them came out of the station in tears. Police didn’t apologise.

They were arrested by the Territorial Support Group.
They were arrested for being in possession of… rape alarms.
I was at the police station and spoke to them directly.
