ACTOR Laurence Fox has accused police of "harassment" and "making his kids cry" after cops visited his home for the second time.

Officers allegedly showed up to his home in Lambeth, south London last night – to which Fox warned that "there will be trouble" if it happens again.

The actor, who came sixth in the London mayoral elections, claims that the police made his children cry while he branded them "thugs."

And the Reclaim Party leader also jibed that the police force should "go and solve knife crime" instead of "harassing his house."

In a tweet last night, Fox wrote: "Dear Met Police. Please stop harassing my house and my children yet AGAIN.

"It makes them cry. It’s bang out of order. You’re Thugs. Go solve knife crime."

He then later added: "If you come to my house again for no reason.

"There will be trouble."

The actor shares his two sons, Winston, 12, and Eugene, nine, with his ex-wife Billie Piper. They divorced in 2016.

The latest police visit comes after the 42-year-old revealed that he was seeking legal advice after two officers went to his home in March and warned that his campaigning could be flouting lockdown laws.

It's not known what last night's alleged visit from the police was about.

Fox – who lost his £10,000 deposit after winning less than 10 per cent of the votes in last week's poll – launched his new "anti-woke" movement pushing for the lifting of all coronavirus restrictions.

His three aims were to defend freedom of speech, reform publicly funded institutions, including the BBC, and to celebrate British history.

He's previously criticised newly re-elected mayor, Sadiq Khan, for being too soft when tackling crime in the capital.

He said: "The Mayor has failed the basic test of keeping London safe. In the name of his political correctness, children are dying on our streets, hospitals are filling up with the stabbed and shot.

"I have promised mothers that if their sons are foolish enough to be caught with a knife or a gun, they will regret it. If they are arrested, they will have a simple choice offered to them at the police station.

"As Mayor, I will bring the full might of the law to send them to jail, or I will support them back into the community to make the most of their lives."

Fox is an English actor, singer-songwriter and guitarist – and is best known for his leading role as DS James Hathaway in ITV's Lewis from 2006 to 2015.

He has also starred in many films including Gosford Park (2005), Becoming Jane (2007), and Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007), as well as multiple theatre productions.

He is also attempting to build a career as a singer – his debut album, Holding Patterns, was released in February 2016.
