In a coordinated operation, officers from the Richmond Police were assisted by the Ham Special Narcotics Team (SNT) in responding to crucial information received yesterday. This led them to a targeted address in Ham, where a significant seizure of illegal substances and cash was made after a thorough search of the premises.
Upon entering the property, Officers discovered approximately 20 kilograms of cannabis, along with 1 kilogram each of cocaine and heroin. In addition to the substantial amount of drugs, officers also found £200,000 in cash, indicating a substantial illicit operation being conducted at the location.
The discovery of such a substantial quantity of drugs and cash highlights the ongoing efforts by law enforcement agencies to combat drug trafficking and distribution networks within the community.
As a result of the operation, four suspects have been apprehended and taken into custody for further questioning. Their identities have not been disclosed at this time, pending ongoing investigations.
The successful operation underscores the importance of collaboration between officers and specialised units like the Ham SNT in targeting and dismantling criminal enterprises involved in drug trafficking and other illicit activities.
