From the article:
Pc Arron Lewars has one of the sharpest recalls for faces in the Metropolitan Police and uses his extraordinary ability to help catch criminals on the run.
In the past year, he has made more than 80 positive identifications leading to the arrest of high-ranking gang members, as well as suspects in shootings and robberies.
His specialist skills are said to have had a “remarkable” impact on the disruption of the capital’s “highest harm” gangs, by either diverting members away from a life of crime or removing them from the streets altogether.
But for the 37-year-old, who is part of the Met’s violence suppression unit covering Ealing, Hounslow and Hillingdon, one case from this summer in particular stands out.
It involved a suspect who had been wanted for around a year over a robbery and a serious domestic assault. He had even featured as one of the Met’s 10 most wanted robbers.
Pc Lewars happened to know the suspect attended Notting Hill Carnival every year, an event for which the officer acts as a spotter, monitoring CCTV in the control room.
“I saw him on the camera, but he’s wearing a baseball cap, he’s got a T-shirt over his head and he’s wearing sunglasses, so literally all you can see was his chin,” said Pc Lewars.
