He recently questioned why the police felt the need to 'gloat' about their recent cannabis farm discovery on Twitter

But Louis Tomlinson appeared to have moved on from the drama on Sunday, as he made a casual arrival in London.

The One Direction star, 26, kept things comfortable in a black sports tracksuit as he arrived in the capital by car.

The Doncaster native wrapped up warm in a black sweatshirt and tracksuit bottoms, co-ordinated with matching trainers.

In his usual sporty style, Louis also added a bright red cap to his head, in a bid to keep a low profile as he arrived at his London hotel. 

The outing comes after Louis became embroiled in a heated debate with the police on Twitter.

The police discovered a cannabis farm worth approximately £80,000 in Keighley last week, after noticing the property had no snow on their roof - suggesting high levels of heat inside.

Upon entering the house, police found around 322 plants in all four bedrooms of the property and in the cellar. The heat from the lamps which helped to grow the plants had been melting the ice off the roof.

However, Louis called the West Yorkshire officers responsible out for 'gloating' about their discovery after the force shared the story on Twitter, alongside the individual social media pages of the policemen.

A baffled Louis wrote: 'Help me understand why individual police officers need their own Twitter? 

'Surely as law enforcement you should be rising above ‘venting’ to your followers. All this does is cause arguments between people online and the police.'

He then added: 'I’m honestly looking for an answer to the question. Goes without saying the work the English police do is incredible but why the need for individual twitters ?' 

The police justified their social media activity by claiming it brings them closer to the public, writing: 'Because engagement breaks down barriers, more often than not it lets people feel the police are the people, not just anonymous uniforms.'

However, Louis further questioned: ''Potentially, used in the correct form however gloating about who’s done what and who you’ve put away only creates a divide. 

'I saw one photo of a cctv picture with an emoji over the suspects face. Doesn’t this create a certain tone?' 

Causing the officer to reply: 'Agreed. It's always about balance and people being people it's not always spot on. But I believe on balance there is more good than harm done. Or else I would not give it any time and we would not be furthering this discussion. Thanks Louis.'

While the discussion ended on a positive note, Louis later commented to another follower: 'I don’t feel like they really answered my question though. Still good to have the debate.'
