Local Drug dealing Winchelsea Rd/Steele Rd N17

Here’s a quick update on drugs dealing crime in your area, please be reassured that we’re taking this seriously and are here to help.

On 13 July 2026, officers from Tottenham Central SNT and Bruce Castle SNT carried out targeted patrols in the Winchelsea Road and Steele Road, N17 area.

During the patrols, a male was seen attempting to make off from police and was stopped. Officers recovered suspected skunk cannabis, a large amount of cash, and a pocket knife, resulting in his arrest.

A subsequent search of an associated property led to the discovery of additional cash and weighing scales. The investigation remains ongoing as officers continue to tackle drug-related crime and keep the community safe.

Drug dealing is often linked with violent crime and the exploitation of vulnerable people, and discarded drug equipment can be a health risk and counts as antisocial behaviour.  

We’ve put hundreds more officers on the frontlines of community crime-fighting teams, upping visible patrols in the right ‘hot spots’ so we can deter and catch criminals.

We are committed to tackling drug dealing wherever we find it. It forms a key part of our recently published ASB Action Plan. 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.  

If you have experienced drug dealing in your area, please report it using our online reporting tools at https://www.met.police.uk or call the non-emergency number 101. 

Alternatively, you can stay 100% anonymous by contacting the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or via their untraceable online form at www.crimestoppers-uk.org
