A high speed pursuit in Tooting involving a police helicopter has ended with an arrest.
Police were called at 2.08pm to Garratt Lane at the junction with Tooting High Street to reports of a man acting suspiciously.
The man fled on a motorbike but was arrested a short while later on suspicion of going equipped to steal, according to police.
Tim Gilmore, who lives nearby, said it looked as though a motorbike had been abandoned in Garratt Lane.
He said: "I didn't see a crash, it looked like it was dropped.
"The helicopter was overhead for about an hour, and flew over Trinity Road way too."
The arrested man was taken to be questioned a west London police station.
