The Met Police’s DS, Saj Hussain, said: “Robbery and theft are invasive and often violent crimes.
“I want to applaud the quick-thinking actions of these two officers for returning the victim’s phone, putting a street thief behind bars and helping to make London safer.
“Met officers are targeting resources to hotspot areas with increased patrols and plain-clothes officers.
“These deter criminals and make officers more visibly available to members of the community.
“We encourage people to report as soon as they can whenever they have been a victim of robbery or theft, so officers can attend the scene and investigate swiftly.”
