Nine people were arrested after police issued 34 people with dispersal orders, which gives officers powers to exclude people from around Oxford Street.

As of 19:00 BST, several hundred youths were seen making their way through Shaftesbury Avenue in the West End.

The dispersal order, covering a large area of the West End, is in effect until 07:00 BST on Friday

Organised Crime is defined as planned and co-ordinated criminal behaviour and conduct by people working together on a continuing basis. Their motivation is often, but not always, financial gain. Organised crime in this and other countries recognises neither national borders nor national interests.
