A second man has been charged after an incident in which another man was shot by police in Wimbledon during what the Met described as a “pre-planned operation” into cash in transit robberies. The charges follow the arrest of two men on Monday, (3rd December) in Lacock Close, Wimbledon.
23 year old Brooklyn McFarlane, who was shot during the incident, was discharged from hospital on Tuesday and, following an appearance before Wimbledon Magistrates the following day, was bailed to appear before Kingston Crown court on Wednesday (December 5).
Mc Farlane lives on St John’s Drive, in Earlsfield, which is the same road as 23 year old Abdirahman Mohomad Omar, who was also charged with conspiracy to commit robbery on Tuesday, (4th December). Omar was remanded in custody to appear at Kingston Crown Court on Friday, 21 December.
