Police Act on Knife Crime Intel
“On July 11 at around 4.30pm, a male was cycling along Bexleyheath Broadway wearing a balaclava,” a Bexley Police spokesperson said. “Officers wanted to stop the male because recent intelligence described suspects for knife crime in the area wearing balaclavas covering their faces. He refused to stop and attempted to flee.”
