POLICE believe they have recovered the cash tills taken from a bike shop looted during rioting in Camden on Monday night.

The tills from Evans Cycles, one of the worst hit shops during disorder in Chalk Farm Road, were found during a search of the Denton Estate in Prince of Wales Road yesterday. During the same search officers took away iron bars, a crow-bar and a CS spray canister.

It was the second find of the day - search officers had earlier taken a metal detector to flowerbeds in Queen's Crescent. Hidden three inches below the soil, police said they found 12 knives, metal bars and a substance thought to be cannabis. No arrests have been made.
