The #VCTF was formed in 2018 to tackle violence on London's streets. 1000s of arrests later, we have now moved from a dedicated taskforce to more local proactive teams, who now benefit from our experience. The end of the #VCTF but a new beginning for proactive policing.

The five suspects in this stolen car & armed with a short sword clearly had other plans. That didn't include stopping for #Syndicate5 , made of at speed mounting pavements. Our officers had no other choice than to use 'tactical contact' (ramming with purpose) Their plans foiled

#Syndicate5 had reason to stop a vehicle and then give it a bit of a search. The driver had a few things he shouldn't have had... Like a couple of knives and firearm.

#Syndicate10 were on way back to base after a busy shift but just as they neared @MPSSutton they saw and chased down three wanted and armed robbers from @MPSCroydon 's patch, who crossed their path. All caught, with weapons, and will now face justice.

It's hard not to think occasionally that some criminals actually like being caught. Like the wanted gang member who thought it would be a good idea to throw a firework at #Syndicate7 officers. Now thinking about his version of a #HappyNewYear in our cells.

Last night #Syndicate5 in @MPSBarkDag had yet another car draw attention to themselves through driving recklessly. They didn’t want to stop to speak with us and after a short pursuit they decided to ram one of our cars in a effort to try to get away. One male in custody.
