Two arrested men as part of an investigation into aggravated burglary.

The pair, aged 53 and 34, were arrested on Wednesday December 1 on suspicion of aggravated burglary and remain in custody at a south London police station.

Police were called at 09:58 on Monday November 29 to reports of an aggravated burglary at a residential address on Arabella Drive, SW15.

At the scene officers found a woman in her 30s, who had been approached outside her address by two males wearing caps with the word 'Police' on the front.

The pair claimed to be carrying a drug search and when the victim challenged them they forced their way inside her home and assaulted her, causing cuts and bruises.

The men then searched the address and stole a two-month old female American XL bulldog puppy, which is described as 'blue merle', cash and a bag containing Christmas gifts.

The victim was treated at hospital for injuries before being discharged.

Anyone who has information or footage relating to this incident, but has not yet spoken with police should call 101 or tweet @MetCC quoting CAD 1837/29Nov.

To remain 100% anonymous call the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
