Arrested for Criminal Damage

Actor turned right-wing political activist Laurence Fox was arrested in London on Wednesday on “suspicion of conspiring to commit criminal damage to ULEZ cameras,” and has been fired from GB News over his comments about journalist Ava Evans.

Police Investigation

On Wednesday morning, Fox’s Reclaim Party posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, claiming that the police were searching the “Lewis” star’s house. Though Fox was not named, the Metropolitan Police said in a statement to the BBC: “On Wednesday 4 October, officers arrested a 45-year-old man on suspicion of conspiring to commit criminal damage to ULEZ cameras and encouraging or assisting offences to be committed. He was arrested in Stockwell and has been taken to a South London police station where he remains in custody.”

Fired from GB News

Later on Wednesday, GB News announced that Fox had also been fired over misogynistic comments he made about Evans. “Laurence Fox and Calvin Robinson were both suspended last week pending internal investigations that have now concluded,” GB News said in a post on X. “As of today, GB News has ended its employment relationship with Laurence Fox and Calvin Robinson.”
