A man has been shot dead in wood green during a police operation relating to a suspected plot to free a prisoner.
Armed officers were in Bracknell Close, near Wood Green Crown Court, London, at about 09:00 GMT when the man was shot.
The Met said the operation was “intelligence-led” and resulted in the arrests of four people.
Two of the arrests were in the Bracknell Close area on suspicion of “conspiracy to facilitate the escape of an individual from custody”.
The suspects arrested there were a 30-year-old and a 19-year-old. In nearby Barratt Avenue, police also arrested a 31-year-old and a 25-year-old.
The Met said these were “related” arrests but did not specify the nature.
Following the shooting, police cordoned off the road at the junction of Bracknell Close and Olympus Grove, near Winkfield Road.
A white forensics tent was erected in the residential street and officers wearing balaclavas were at the scene.
