TWO youths who were arrested in high-profile raids on suspicion of owning a gun disguised as a pen have again been bailed by police.

The 16-year-old from Orange Grove, Leytonstone, and 17-year-old from Higham Road, Walthamstow, were seized in an operation involving more than 100 officers back in February.

After being released on bail they were quizzed again by police last week but now will not have to face officers again until "early May" according to a Met spokesman.

Neither teenager has been charged.

The raids came after a high-tech pen-shaped weapon was dropped by suspected gang members in West Street, Leytonstone, in November last year.
