A West Kensington woman has been charged with racially abusing one of the ten police officers needed to arrest her on suspicion of shoplifting. Jahda Tragni, 21, from Gliddon Road, was approached by community support officers in Lyric Square, Hammersmith, who suspected her of theft. But they called back-up and eventually needed 10 officers to arrest Ms Tragni, who wasn't subsequently charged with any shoplifting offence. A van and a car were dispatched she was eventually arrested outside the Broadway Shopping Centre, opposite the Chronicle's offices. Ms Tragni was bailed to appear at West London Magistrates' Court on April 26. Link Source

After CCTV cameras found the criminals were meeting at Café Nero by the Tube station, two undercover French-speaking officers of Arab appearance went to the café and listened to the gang's plans. The information was translated to colleagues who, with the aid of the UK Border Agency and the Territorial Support Group, swooped and made ten arrests. Shepherd's Bush Inspector Dan Stobbart said: "Westfield was having problems with t…
