Two teenagers from south London are among 60 people who have been arrested in an anti-robbery crackdown on the rail network.
British Transport Police has increased its presence across the London rail network through a series of anti-robbery operations resulting in the arrest of 60 people.

Operational lead, Superintendent John Loveless, said: “Tackling robbery on the rail network is a force priority and we have zero tolerance for these types of offences.
“We’ve had multiple Operation Invert deployments throughout January, and I’m pleased to see the number of arrests made as a result.
“We’re aware of the number of youth offenders involved in robbery and we’re continuing to explore the use further preventative restrictions, such as Criminal Behaviour Orders and Youth Rehabilitation Orders, to ensure we are doing all we can to deter these offences.
“We are committed to tackling robbery and weapon possession on the network, and we would like to reassure the public that this activity will be continuing going forward.”
If a robbery has just happened, passengers are advised to contact 999 to allow officers to respond immediately.

Heavy Police Presence and Arrests during BHAFC vs CPFC Match
A police operation was in effect on Saturday, as rival football teams Brighton & Hove Albion FC (BHAFC) and Crystal Palace FC (CPFC) faced off at the Amex Stadium. The match, which started at 3pm, was under tight security with officers from Sussex Police, the Metropolitan Police, and the British Transport Police (BTP) collaborating to ensure public safety.
In anticipation of the high-profile match, authorities had a substantial police presence throughout the city and particularly around Brighton Station. Efforts to keep peace between the rival fan groups saw CPFC supporters rerouted away from Queens Road to the station’s rear, where they were escorted to the stadium. In contrast, Brighton fans were temporarily held back to prevent any clashes, a measure stemming from a historical rivalry dating back to the 1970s.
Photo – Sussex News Photo – Sussex News Despite the majority of fans enjoying the game responsibly, the day was not without incident. Sussex Police later reported that an officer was injured before the match commenced, a result of a pyrotechnic device thrown near Brighton Station. Thankfully, the officer did not require hospital treatment and is currently recovering.
Photo – Sussex News Photo – Sussex News The police operation led to seven arrests for various offences, including assault, assault on an emergency worker, affray, and violations of the Public Order Act, with two cases exacerbated by homophobia. A Sussex Police spokesperson commended most fans for their conduct but lamented the actions of a disruptive minority. “Officers responded as necessary, and any individuals caught committing offences will be dealt with robustly,” the spokesperson added.

Brighton Station Match in 2022 In years past, confrontations between fans outside Brighton station before the match have raised concerns about public safety. In response, Sussex Police have outlined comprehensive measures to ensure a secure environment for fans and residents alike. “There will be an increased police presence in Brighton city centre on Saturday for Brighton and Hove Albion’s football fixture against Crystal Palace,” stated a spokesperson for Sussex Police. “This is to ensure that everyone attending the match has a safe and enjoyable experience.”
