A TOTAL of 62 arrests have now been made in connection with rioting and looting in Waltham Forest earlier this week.
Police say of those, 32 of the suspects do not live in the borough.
More than 50 shops were smashed and looted on Sunday and Monday (August 7 and 8) when violence following a police shooting in Tottenham spread across the capital.
Around 200 officers have been patrolling the streets in the last few days, which have been calm.
Council leader Chris Robbins said this morning: "Last night was another quiet night in the borough with no disturbances.
"The police are maintaining their heavy presence on the streets in Waltham Forest and are making arrests following the events of Sunday night."
He added: "As we approach the weekend, the police are going to maintain their large numbers and high visibility patrols will continue throughout the borough.
"The council will also continue to have high numbers of street enforcement staff available."
