Brazen scenes caught on camera. A group of thieves were filmed raiding a DPD delivery van in broad daylight. In the footage, a man can be heard desperately pleading with them to stop and shouting for someone to call the police, but they carried on regardless before making off. Delivery theft like this is becoming more and more common, and itโ€™s the drivers and customers who pay the price. ๐Ÿ“ London ๐ŸŽฅ via @rizishah80 #ub1ub2 #london #news

Caught on CCTV in Hayes ๐Ÿ‘€ Footage on Coldharbour Lane shows a car turning out of a side road and colliding with an oncoming vehicle. A reminder to all of us to take that extra second at junctions, theyโ€™re easy to misjudge.

If you heard a roar over West London today, that was the Red Arrows ๐Ÿ‘€ The RAFโ€™s famous aerobatic team soared over the skies this afternoon, trailing red, white and blue smoke, as part of the Kingโ€™s Birthday Flypast. After passing over Buckingham Palace for Trooping the Colour, the formation headed west, and plenty of West London caught the view, from Heathrow to Southall. Did you see them? ๐Ÿ‘‡ ๐Ÿ“ West London ๐ŸŽฅ Submitted by @savstilloutside @gharuvit @szymon_.zz @bbooth_royd #ub1ub2 #london #westlondon #redarrows

A tribute to a true hero ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡งโค๏ธ Rushabh Patel, 28, has died after saving two friends from drowning in Milton Keynes. Originally from Gujarat, Rushabh had moved to the UK to build a better life for his family, his wife Mili and their 18-month-old daughter. On 26 May, he was enjoying a picnic with his family at an open-water spot in Newport Pagnell when two friends got into difficulty in the water. Without hesitation, Rushabh jumped in. He saved both of them, but suffered a cardiac arrest and drowned. He was airlifted to hospital, where he passed away two days later. In death, his selflessness continued. Through organ donation, Rushabh gave five to six people a new chance at life. His sister has set up a fundraiser to support his wife and young daughter, which you can find linked in our bio. A husband, a father, and a hero. Rest in peace ๐Ÿ™ ๐Ÿ“ Milton Keynes ๐ŸŽฅ Source: family / GoFundMe #ub1ub2 #london #news

Please share this with the older people in your life. An elderly woman in her 80s was targeted in a distraction theft in Hayes Town this week. As she walked home with her mobility walker, she was approached by someone asking for directions to the gurdwara and handed some papers. While she was distracted, the person slipped two gold rings off her hand. Police say this is a known tactic used by organised thieves, getting close under a friendly pretext, using touch and handed objects to distract, then removing jewellery. Officers have warned that elderly people are being targeted this way across Hayes, Osterley and Southall, and that many victims feel too ashamed to report it. There is nothing to be ashamed of. These are professional criminals who do this deliberately. How to protect yourself and your elders: โ€ข Be wary of strangers who get close or ask for directions in the street โ€ข Keep your distance if someone tries to hand you papers or touch your hands โ€ข Consider leaving valuable rings and jewellery at home when out โ€ข Report it. Every report helps police catch them If you have information or were a victim, contact police on 101 quoting CAD 3631/12Jun26, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. ๐Ÿ“ Hayes ๐ŸŽฅ Source: Metropolitan Police #ub1ub2 #london #hayes #news

Two enforcement officers have lost their jobs after a video showing them threatening a member of the public went viral. In the footage, the two officers square up to one man, with one repeatedly threatening violence and telling him โ€œwhen Iโ€™m not in uniform, Iโ€™m going to knock you out.โ€ London Borough of Harrow has confirmed it is aware of the video and that swift action was taken when the incident and complaint were first raised in May, with both officers involved no longer working for Kingdom, the contractor that employed them. The council said it takes any instance of officers deliberately turning off body-worn cameras extremely seriously, and that โ€œthreats of violence towards members of the public are wholly unacceptable and will not be tolerated.โ€ ๐Ÿ“ Harrow ๐ŸŽฅ via X user: its_rick97 #ub1ub2 #london #harrow #news x.com/its_rick97/status/2065โ€ฆ

A man who kidnapped, tortured and raped a woman at a house in Hanwell has been jailed for 34 years. Gagandeep, 34, of Wandsworth, was sentenced today at Isleworth Crown Court, comprising 28 years in custody and a 6 year extended licence. He will serve at least 18 years before parole can be considered, and will then be deported with no right of re-entry. The court heard his victim, a 24-year-old woman, had refused to bring a suitcase of unknown items into the UK from Thailand. When she arrived at Birmingham Airport in June 2024, she was forced into a car by masked men, driven to a house in Hanwell, and subjected to more than a day of torture. He raped her twice. Her mum refused to give up. She kept her daughterโ€™s clothes as evidence, which produced a one in a million DNA match, and supported her until she felt able to give a full account. He was found guilty of two counts of rape, kidnap, false imprisonment and causing grievous bodily harm with intent. The survivor said: โ€œWe are not the ones who should carry shame. We survive, and we go on to live again.โ€ If you have been affected by sexual violence, support is available. You can report to police on 101, or reach the Havens (Londonโ€™s sexual assault referral centres) without going to police first. ๐Ÿ“ Hanwell / Isleworth Crown Court ๐ŸŽฅ Source: Met Police #ub1ub2 #london #hanwell #news

The man who died in Wednesdayโ€™s stabbing on North Road in Southall has been named locally as Gurbhej Singh, 26. Family and media in Punjab say Gurbhej was from Mehndipur, a village near Khemkaran in Tarn Taran district, and was the only brother of three sisters. He moved to England around four years ago and worked here alongside other young men from his village. His family in Punjab were given the devastating news on Thursday night. His village is in mourning, and relatives are appealing to the Indian authorities for help to bring his body home so his family can lay him to rest. Seven men were arrested at the scene on suspicion of murder, and six remain in custody as the investigation continues. Anyone with information can contact police on 101 quoting CAD 215/10JUN26, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Do you recognise this man? Police have released an e-fit after an attempted rape in Walpole Park, Ealing. At around 6:30pm on Tuesday 13 January, a woman in her 20s was approached by a man in the park. He pushed her to the ground and attempted to sexually assault her, but she was able to fight him off. She reported the attack the same day and continues to be supported by specialist officers. Police describe the suspect as skinny to average build with thick dark-brown hair, and say he appeared to be of Middle Eastern heritage. At the time he was wearing a black puffer jacket, grey trousers and black shoes with white soles. The victim scratched his face as she escaped, which may have left a noticeable mark or scar. Detectives also believe people may have been in the park at the time who saw or heard something without realising what was taking place, and are urging them to come forward. If you recognise the man in the e-fit or have any information, call 101 quoting reference 6428/13JAN, or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. ๐Ÿ“ Walpole Park, Ealing ๐ŸŽฅ E-fit: Met Police #ub1ub2 #london #ealing #news

Community spirit on full display in Ilford ๐Ÿ”ฅ When a fire broke out on a shop sign, locals didnโ€™t just stand and film, several climbed up with fire extinguishers and got to work keeping the flames back until the London Fire Brigade arrived and brought it under control. Fair play to everyone who jumped in, but obviously, if you ever spot a fire, call 999 first and leave it to the pros where you can. Fires on shopfronts can spread fast. Big respect to the LFB for getting there quick ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ“ Ilford, London ๐ŸŽฅ Submitted by @noor.safi047 #ub1ub2 #london #ilford #fire

A huge fire ripped through a warehouse in Brent overnight ๐Ÿ”ฅ The blaze broke out on Oxgate Lane late last night, engulfing the two-storey warehouse, with flames and smoke visible for miles. At its height, around 150 firefighters and 25 fire engines were battling the fire, with four turntable ladders deployed. More than 70 residents were evacuated as a precaution, and Edgware Road was closed between Dollis Hill and Staples Corner. People nearby were advised to keep windows and doors closed due to the smoke. The London Fire Brigade say the fire is now under control, with crews remaining on scene to put out the last pockets. Thankfully, no injuries have been reported. The cause is not yet known.
