Police officers in bullet proof vests and shielded helmets have been seen on video early this morning in a Romford street where a crime scene has been put in place. 

At least 24 police officers were captured on Ring doorbell footage walking down Marlborough Road shortly before 5am this morning (September 25). 

Several of the officers appeared to be carrying objects, with one filmed holding something over their shoulder. 

It comes as a crime scene and multiple police vehicles have been pictured in the same road later in the day.
