The raid was no flash in the pan. It came after weeks of intelligence-led investigation targeting local gangs. Officers from the Central East Command Unit spearheaded the crackdown, with backup from the Territorial Support Group (TSG) and the Dog Support Unit (DSU).
Detective Constable Carey declared: “These arrests for drug dealing demonstrate our unrelenting commitment to tackling drugs and organised criminality within the local community.
“The safety of our residents remains our top priority and we will therefore continue working to disrupt criminal drug markets and the associated violence they are known to bring to communities, ensuring that those involved are brought to justice.”
This latest swoop sends a strong message: East London’s streets won’t be safe for dealers and gangs for long. Watch this space as police keep fighting back.
