Nimco Ali, a notable figure and godmother to one of Boris and Carrie Johnson’s children, has publicly criticized the Metropolitan Police for their handling of a theft case. The incident involved the theft of AirPods, which Ali reported to the police.

The Metropolitan Police, in response to the criticism, admitted to encountering challenges in the investigation, specifically pointing out difficulties in securing CCTV footage from the location of the incident and the limitations of tracking technology for the stolen device.
