		</div><p>Senior police say they have been left shocked and disturbed after the arrest of a serving officer in connection with the disappearance of Sarah Everard in south London last week.</p>
<p>Ms Everard, a 33-year-old marketing executive, went missing after leaving a friend’s house in Clapham at about 9pm on March 3.</p>
<p>Scotland Yard said in a statement released late on Tuesday night that a serving Metropolitan Police officer had been arrested at an address in Kent in connection with Ms Everard’s disappearance.</p>
<p>“He has been taken into custody at a London police station where he remains,” the statement said.</p>
<p>Assistant Commissioner Nick Ephgrave said: “The arrest this evening is a serious and significant development. We will continue to work with all speed on this investigation but the fact that the arrested man is a serving Metropolitan Police officer is both shocking and deeply disturbing.</p>
<p>“I understand there will be significant public concern but it is essential that the investigative team are given the time and space to continue their work.”<br />

The Met said a woman had also been arrested at the same location on suspicion of assisting an offender.</p>
<p>“She has also been taken into custody at a London police station,” the police statement said.</p>
<p>“The Directorate of Professional Standards is aware. Sarah’s family has been kept updated of these developments.”</p>
<p>Detective Chief Inspector Katherine Goodwin said: “This is a significant development in our inquiry. This is a fast-moving investigation and we are doing everything we can to find Sarah.</p>
<p>“We have seen an overwhelming response from the public and I repeat my request for anyone with information that may be relevant to come forward, no matter how insignificant it may seem.”</p>
<p>Ms Everard is thought to have walked through Clapham Common towards her house in Brixton – a journey which should have taken around 50 minutes.</p>
<p>She was last captured on a doorbell camera walking along the A205 Poynders Road towards Tulse Hill at around 9.30pm.</p>
<p>On Tuesday evening, police put up a cordon outside a block of flats near where the footage was recorded.</p>
<p>The search was focused on the Poynders Court housing complex on Poynders Road, and forensics officers could be seen examining the area.</p>
<p>Sniffer dogs were also used to search the nearby Oaklands Estate and gardens in surrounding streets, while other officers were lifting covers and searching drains along the A205.</p>
<p>The Met said it had received more than 120 calls from the public and had visited 750 homes in the area as part of the investigation.</p>
