The force arrested 64 people during the massive security operation, but 36 now face no further action.
The Metropolitan Police has doubled down on its policing tactics during the King’s coronation despite over half of those arrested facing no further action.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, Assistant Commissioner Matt Twist said among those facing no further action were people seen in “possession of glue, allen keys and other paraphernalia”. Despite a high number of suspects not facing any further action, Mr Twist defended the police’s actions – saying their efforts were “consistent with the Met’s long history both of overseeing significant public events and also policing peaceful protest across London”.
“For example, three of those whose arrest did not lead to charge were found near the coronation route in the early hours of the day of the event in possession of glue, a banner from a known activist group, allen keys and other paraphernalia that could have been used to commit criminal damage or other disruption.”
“Officers were briefed on these concerns and were directed to act appropriately in light of the emerging intelligence picture, which they did.
