Police are investigating after a video posted on social media showed people entering a private home in east London without permission, Scotland Yard said.
The force said officers have identified an 18-year-old man who is the main person featured in the video and are trying to trace him so he can be dealt with for a suspected breach of a community protection notice issued last May.
The notice prohibits him from carrying out any act which will or is intended to cause harassment, alarm or distress.
Police said the video appears to show the man, in the company of another, enter a house in Hackney without the permission of homeowners.
The force said it was believed the content of the video could amount to a breach of the community protection notice that was imposed in response to previous videos posted on social media by the same man.
DCS James Conway of the central east command unit, which is responsible for policing in Hackney and Tower Hamlets, said: “We are aware that this video has been widely shared both on social and mainstream media, and understand the concern caused by its content.
“I would like to reassure the public that we are taking the matter very seriously and are conducting an investigation, including inquiries to locate the man seen in the video.
“We have spoken with the homeowners and will continue to liaise with them in regards to our action on this matter.
“We are aware of other videos posted by the same individual which have also been circulating, but believe these to be historic matters which were addressed through previous police action, though we continue to pursue inquiries to check this.”
A video shared on social media shows a man entering a home through an open front door while a resident is cleaning outside. He then speaks to a male resident and sits down on a sofa briefly before leaving.
