Cars were pulled over in the city as the police conducted checks.
Officers were in place around The Strand and Wapping as part of the police's Project Servator, which has been running since 2018. The project "aims to disrupt a range of criminal activity, including terrorism, while providing a reassuring presence for the public".
The project sees officers arrive at a location unannounced and conduct patrols ,which could last for a number of hours. Today (May 1), officers pulled over a number of cars.
