Watchdog to investigate two more strip-searches of children by Met police

The investigations launched by the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) both involve 16-year-old boys who are understood to have been strip-searched in custody in 2020 without an appropriate adult present; one at Ilford police station in January and the other at Bethnal Green police station in October.

The IOPC received 11 referrals from the Met relating to separate incidents between December 2019 and May 2022. All involved children aged 14 to 17 who were strip-searched by officers in or outside of custody.

Besides the two referrals being investigated, the IOPC has said that six others are suitable for a local investigation by the police force, with the remaining three awaiting a decision on whether further action is required.
