woah this is crazy and quite disturbing
If the police officer works in south west london (speculation, but working with this theory for the moment) then it is worth pointing out for those on here not familiar with the geography (although a quick google maps search would point in this direction) then a drive home from anywhere to the west of Clapham to “Kent” would involve driving along the south circular/A205/Poynders Road.Our posts crossed - but yes I was thinking that too! Snooping on what was being seen/found outside of official channels perhaps?!
whats this?
Here's the twitter link with the Met responding - https://twitter.com/MetCC/status/1368629767734521862?s=20
I now keep thinking back to that post on here somewhat out of the blue from a user contacted on SM, allegedly from a police officer, about what CCTV images could be accessed and how... we initially scoffed that an officer wouldn’t know about that sort of thing (I should add: scoffed not at the truthfulness of the poster on here, but rather in the sense of assuming that the officer might not be who they said there were if they didn’t know that but were involved in the investigation, and instead might have been a journo trying it on.
But what if that was this officer, and he was snooping on the case online because he wasn’t actually part of the investigation and/or had a LE role that didn’t require use or even knowledge of TFL CCTV, and was concerned he could be picked up on camera coercing SE into his vehicle? Doesn’t bear thinking about... but nothing would surprise me with this case now.
Could it also be possible that it was actually SE who flagged down the PO as his car approached so that she could report something she'd seen on her walk home?do police officers offer lifts though. I would imagine if someone said they were a police officer and offered someone a lift they would be a bit suspicious.

Three thoughts.
1) The woman arrested might be the police officer’s mother or other relative rather than a romantic partner.
2) Whatever the initial scenario, this might be something unintended or accidental that went wrong. So maybe started as something corrupt or sexual and escalated or maybe even an RTA.
3) Female relatives of men are more likely to help them cover up an accident, or something they at least believe to be an accident. They are less likely to assist a deliberate rapist or kidnapped unless forced.
do police officers offer lifts though. I would imagine if someone said they were a police officer and offered someone a lift they would be a bit suspicious.
Or occasionally when a tabloid dares do a "the man has been named locally as xxxx" report.
I feel certain, based on comments from the SIO, that the reason for the arrest is a substantive offence. If it wasn't and there were other suspects outstanding then the arrests would not have been announced.
The arrested persons would likely have been held incommunicado to prevent knowledge of the arrests being made known to any outstanding involved parties, who may abscond or destroy evidence.
This announcement has been made to reassure the public and that is no doubt because the police believe they have their primary suspect.
So while the police say he was arrested in Kent, geographically that could still be Greater London.

this sounds plausible but i feel this questioning would have taken some time and someone would have seen this. Another idea is that he knew her and she just got into the carI wonder if she was flagged down by a police officer claiming to be doing ‘routine covid checks’ on random members of the public - maybe he asked her how many times she had left her house today and for what purpose. He then asks her to step into the back of the car so he could take some of her details and she complies as most citizens would and he drives off with her to somewhere more secluded to commit other acts that I don’t want to think about too much. JMO.

not sure, would be more likely as she was the victim that he stopped. or else they already knew each other, which to me at this stage seems most plausible. But again, who knowsCould it also be possible that it was actually SE who flagged down the PO as his car approached so that she could report something she'd seen on her walk home?
