The officer completed the delivery after the original rider was arrested during a mobile patrol in Hampstead Town by the Hampstead Town and Highgate Safer Neighbourhoods teams. A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police said: "The customer opened the door expecting a Deliveroo rider but was surprised to find a police officer standing there holding their meal. It was definitely not the delivery update they were expecting." "Keeping local roads safer, addressing community concerns and making sure lunch does not go missing — all in a morning’s work!" The rider was arrested on suspicion of an immigration offence.
