Sarah Everard news updates – Latest developments as serving cop is arrested after 33-year-old vanished off London street

A SERVING police officer has been arrested in the hunt to find missing Sarah Everard.

The 33-year-old vanished while walking home from a friend’s house after 9pm last Wednesday and hasn’t been seen or heard from since.

Police last night revealed a serving police officer had been arrested at an address in Kent in connection with Sarah’s disappearance, and he remains in custody.

The Met said a woman had also been arrested at the same location on suspicion of assisting an offender and also remains in custody at a London police station.

Sarah left her pal’s house about 9pm last Wednesday and should have returned home to nearby Brixton around 50 minutes later.

The search for missing Sarah continues a week after her disappearance on Wednesday night.

Following last night’s arrest, Met Police and specialist teams began searching secluded wooded areas on the outskirts of Deal, Kent.

Specialist teams were seen combing through the area while police dogs were also brought in as part of the hunt.

Sarah was last seen walking alone on a doorbell camera on the Poynders Road section of the South Circular – about halfway between her friend’s house and her own flat.

Detectives searching for the missing marketing executive earlier cordoned off a main road to search a housing complex close to where Sarah’s phone last pinged.
