The Met has arrested a man in Peckham on suspicion of trying to sell Morgan McSweeney’s phone. Which has not been recovered…
A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said:
“Officers investigating the theft of a mobile phone in Belgrave Road, Pimlico on 20th October 2025 have arrested a 28-year-old man on suspicion of handling stolen goods.
“The arrest took place on Wednesday, 29th April at an address in Peckham. The man was taken into police custody and later bailed. He is suspected of receiving the phone after it was stolen and then selling it on. He is not suspected of any involvement in the original theft. The phone has not been recovered.”
According to McSweeney his messages with Peter Mandelson will be featured in the Humble Address release anyway…
Speaking to Adam Boulton on Times Radio about kicking the Golders Green suspect, Heidi Alexander said:
“I thought that if I was in the shoes of that police officer, then if I’m honest, given the situation, and the fact that he had a backpack on his back, and they were worried about whether that might go off, I could, if I was a police officer, frankly, I could see myself having taken similar action.”
