The Metropolitan Police’s Twitter account appears to have been hacked.

A series of bizarre tweets appeared on the force’s social media account on Friday night but have since been deleted.

One post read “We are the police… Cal and Dylan are gay” while another said “no comment get my lawyer”.

A Scotland Yard superintendent said the account had “been subject to unauthorised access”.

Superintendent Roy Smith tweeted: “Our media team are working hard to delete the messages and ensure the security of the account.

“Please ignore any Tweets until we verify that it is back under official control.”

The posts, some of which received hundreds of likes and retweets, seemed to be tongue-in-cheek.

The hackers also managed to post a series of ‘press releases’ on the Met Police website.
