Specialists from the Counter Terrorism Command (CTC) are leading an investigation after an Ultra Low Emissions Zone (ULEZ) camera was blown up in South East London, the Metropolitan Police said on Thursday.

The Met said the incident, which occurred on Wednesday, is not being treated as terrorism at this time, and that CTC specialists are involved because of their expertise on explosives.
