It has since sparked debate on whether it’s a good use of police time.

In a photo shared on Twitter by The Metropolitan Police’s Specials Unit, loads of drugs, which appeared to be weed, hundreds of pounds in cash, and a mobile phone could be seen.
It was captioned: “This fake take away delivery rider was nicked overnight while riding through #shoreditch on route to drop off an order. Currently enjoying one of our fine en-suites. @MPSHackney @MPSTowerHam.” Reportedly, the 17-year-old man was spotted riding his along Great Eastern at around midnight on Saturday 11th September.
A fake Just Eat driver was arrested on his way to drop off an order; money and drugs.
The man, whose name is withheld, was asked to stop, yet he attempted to ride off but was instantly detained by the officers. Police also reportedly observed a strong smell of cannabis around him. Amid searching, officers found money and a mobile phone, which contained information about his involvement in drug dealing.
The 17-year-old was seen riding a bicycle through Great Eastern Street EC2 towards Shoreditch High Street.
The teen has been notably arrested for possession with intent to supply class B drugs and failing to stop for police. Speaking about the incident, Chris Scammell, a Chief Inspector from the Central East Command Unit, applauded the officers involved. According to Ladbible, Scammell said: “This was an excellent piece of police work with our volunteer officers from the special constabulary stopping this boy after their suspicions were aroused and seizing drugs and cash.”
The teen whose name was withheld wore a jacket and carried the delivery bag of Just Eat.
“It’s solid work like this that has a real impact on keeping our communities safe. Inquiries have confirmed that the boy arrested does not work for a food delivery service, and we believe he was using this as a front to organize drug deals.” Nonetheless, the news of the arrest has since sparked a debate in the comments, with many people disagreeing on whether this is a good use of police time.
