The image of Brobee, a character from children's TV series Yo Gabba Gabba, appeared on the Met's police careers website alongside the words "Oh hai guys, do joo wanna bes a policeman lulz?"

The hacker also outlined the ideal applicants for anti-terrorism police officers as "incompetent, nervy, edgy sociopaths" who would "make London's streets just that little bit safer".

A spokeswoman for the Met confirmed an investigation had been launched. She said: "We are aware of an unauthorised image and text having been placed on the

Met careers internet site. The offending items, including a green furry creature, have been removed. The Metropolitan Police Service takes the security of its data very seriously and a full investigation is being conducted to identify the hacker."
