has been interviewed under police caution for a third time after allegations of sexual misconduct were made against him.
The former Radio 1 DJ, 65, has previously ‘strongly’ denied any wrongdoing after being against women spanning decades.
He stepped down from his show on Capital Xtra in April last year.
The said officers are investigating five accusations of offences and confirmed a man had been interviewed under caution again this week.
In a statement on Thursday, the force said: ‘Police are investigating five reports relating to allegations of non-recent sexual offences allegedly committed by a man.
‘The offences are alleged to have occurred in London between 1982 and 2016.’
They continued in a statement seen by PA: ‘A 65-year-old man was interviewed under caution on March 15 2023, April 4 2023 and July 11 2023. There has been no arrest.’
The force did not name the DJ and radio presenter in their statement.
An external inquiry was launched by the BBC in 2022 into what was known about Westwood’s conduct during his time at the corporation. He had also worked at Capital FM during the time period of the allegations.
A statement from a representative of Westwood, released in 2022, said: ‘Tim Westwood strongly denies all allegations of inappropriate behaviour.
‘In a career that has spanned 40 years, there have never been any complaints made against him officially or unofficially.
‘Tim Westwood strongly rejects all allegations of wrongdoing.’
Westwood, who left the BBC in 2013 after nearly two decades, also in April 2022 after the initial claims came to light.
In July, the BBC said it had received complaints against Westwood, including one that was referred to police, despite director-general Tim Davie previously saying .
Davie launched an internal audit, reporting to the BBC board’s senior independent director, Sir Nicholas Serota.
