Hours later a second young man in a blue hoodie was seen hopping on a bike with a Just Eat container.
On Monday, over 20 officers in stab vests swooped on the Barbican Thistle Hotel and arrested asylum seekers suspected of working illegally while housed and fed by the taxpayer.
The operation, triggered by a Sun investigation, saw officers confiscating phones and an electric bike. But bikes hidden behind a screen were not seized.
A business owner said: “The moment the cops left, they are back at it.
“I thought they’d take away the bikes then they would not carry on.
“Last weekend one resident chucked a TV from the third-floor on a car.
“We just want our street back.”
A migrant questioned on Monday told The Sun yesterday: “I did not give them my papers.
“I said I’m not working for the delivery drivers.
“My English is not good enough.

“I was told it was okay to go back to the hotel.”
This week we revealed migrants can earn £1,000 a week on apps like Deliveroo within hours of reaching the UK.
