A 30-year-old female police officer has collapsed and died while chasing two suspected mobile phone thieves, Scotland Yard has confirmed.
Detective Constable Adele Cashman, collapsed during the pursuit in Belsize Park Gardens, Camden, at 9.45pm on Monday night.
Police said a smartphone had been snatched out of the hand of a 59-year-old woman in Haverstock Hill and the "much-loved and wholly dedicated" officer chased after the two suspects.
Uniformed officers on duty in the area saw the chase and joined Det Con Cashman and requested more help.
A 17-year-old boy was arrested at the junction of Belsize Grove and a second boy, also 17, was arrested and the phone recovered, Scotland Yard said.
The suspects remain in custody at police stations in north and central London.
A response team officer based at Kentish Town police station, Det Con Cashman was taken to the Royal Free Hospital in Hampstead but died at 11.10pm.
Her family has been informed and inquiries into the circumstances surrounding her death are under way, the Metropolitan Police added.
Commander Tony Eastaugh said: "The thoughts of everyone in the Metropolitan Police Service are very much with Adele's family, friends and colleagues at this extremely difficult time.
"Adele worked on both Camden and Wandsworth boroughs and was held in high regard by all who met her."
"She will be sorely missed by everyone who had the privilege of working alongside her."
Acting Borough Commander Richard Tucker, from Camden Police, said: "Adele was a much-loved and wholly dedicated officer.
"We at Camden are completely devastated at her sudden passing and our thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends at this tragically sad time."
