Op Kestrel Delivers Results

We wanted to share a quick update about dangerous driving in your area. Please be assured we’re working to keep everyone safe.

On Friday 18 September 2026, officers from Euston TCT, Central RDRT at Grove Hall, and VERS supported an Op Kestrel Day of action, organised by PC Mullen.

Officers conducted proactive patrols across robbery and theft-snatch hotspots around Tottenham Court Road and Bloomsbury, resulting in the seizure of 28 illegal electric bikes.

Throughout the day, officers received strong support from members of the public, who frequently approached them to express their appreciation and thank them for their efforts. This positive engagement highlighted the value of visible policing and the reassurance it provides to local communities.

An excellent result achieved by local officers and a strong example of targeted policing, partnership working, and positive community engagement.

Well done to everyone involved.

If someone is driving a motor vehicle, they should always be doing so in a safe and considerate manner. Even momentary lapses in judgement can have life changing or devastating consequences for those in the vehicle or innocent bystanders. 

Activities such as street racing, cruising or performing tricks can count as anti-social behaviour. If you are concerned about this in your area, visit our website for the latest guidance.
