Police Want To Identify Woman After Knife Find In Westminster

Police have issued an appeal for help in identifying a woman they want to speak to in connection with an incident in Westminster on Tuesday afternoon.

Police said that at about 15:30 yesterday a woman approached an officer and asked for access to a "highly restricted area".

She was refused entry and left the areas. However, ten minutes the woman returned and asked again for access. She was again refused.

A short time later police found a scarf on a nearby wall, wrapped around two large knives. Police believe that the woman who asked for access to the restricted areas had been carrying the scarf.

If you think you know who this woman might be please contact the officers on 020 7161 6216 or by dialling 101.
