Police versus gangs in the capital

London is on track for the worst year of teenage murders on record.

So far 26 teenagers have lost their lives in the capital in 2021. The youngest victim was a 14-year-old boy who was savagely killed with a sword.

In some areas, the main reason is gang warfare. There are around 200 identified gangs in London - and of the top 20 most dangerous gangs in London, around seven are based in and around Tottenham.

Sky's investigative journalist Andy Hughes looks at why Tottenham is at the centre of so many gang-related murders this year.
