A man from Hackney has been charged with trying to prevent a police officer from carrying out a stop and search at a shopping centre in Romford.
Police patrolling the centre were alerted to a group of shoppers in relation to shoplifting at around 3pm. After officers detained Towley for a search, the 28-year-old allegedly obstructed the stop and search procedure.
A woman was also stopped and searched at the same time, police said.
A police spokesperson confirmed that the items believed to have been stolen have now been recovered and they are continuing to investigate the incident.
