Local Priorities Drug dealing/ drug use Message

I wanted to provide an update regarding drug dealing / drug use, which some members around this area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the Met Engage priority survey.

Officers from Finsbury park safer neighbourhood team associated with multi partner agencies conducted successful premises warrants. This joint operation took place on the basis of a strong intelligence report in relation to a huge drug line which operated across LONDON. While conducting the warrants officers seized approx £13000 in banded bills, a ROLEX, 5 designer watches and GUCCI designer clothing. Officers also searched his TESLA and found a HANDGUN and AMMUNITION, with a live round chambered. The suspect was immediately taken in custody for supplying crack cocaine, heroine and in possession of firearms. Now remanded in court and waiting for a sentence. Along with members of the public, the Metropolitan Police Service is working hard to keep the community SAFE.

We are committed to tackling drug dealing wherever we find it. We will keep you updated on our efforts to do this in your area, but if you have any concerns or evidence, it is important you report this as soon as possible.
