A 36-year-old woman wanted for an assault more than 20 years ago is arrested as part of a live facial recognition pilot in Croydon, south London, according to multiple UK outlets. Reporting says the trial runs over a six-month period and results in the arrest of 173 suspects. The coverage also states that police use the system to identify people from watchlists and compare those matches in real time through facial recognition cameras. The arrested suspects are described as linked to a range of serious alleged offences, including kidnapping and rape, alongside the assault case involving the woman. Sky News and other reports describe the arrests as being made after people are detected by the facial recognition cameras during the pilot. The sources do not provide further details on whether the woman’s arrest is connected to the assault investigation itself or the current stage of any court proceedings. Overall, the reports agree on the key elements: the woman wanted for decades is arrested during the Croydon live facial recognition trial, and police arrest 173 crime suspects in that period.
