A 33-year-old man has been arrested by police officers investigating a burglary in which a 15-month-old baby was threatened with a knife.

Hillingdon Police say the man was detained in the Stanmore area last night (Thursday, November 6). He is in custody in a West London police station.

Getwestlondon broke the news yesterday of the Halloween night trauma for a mother and her family, and an e-fit image of a man police wanted to talk to about the incident was widely circulated by London media.

The burglary, in which a quantity of jewellery was stolen, happened in Harlington Road, Uxbridge, at about 5pm on Friday, October 31.
