In a series of coordinated dawn raids, six individuals have been arrested, and significant quantities of Class A drugs, cash, and a firearm have been seized in Camden, Islington, Newham, and Croydon.
The operation is part of an intelligence-led initiative responding to ongoing reports of drug dealing, drug use, and associated criminality in Kings Cross.
Officers arrested six men, aged between 18 and 30, on suspicion of various offences, including conspiracy to supply Class A drugs, possession with intent to supply Class A drugs, and possession of a firearm. All suspects are currently in custody at North London police stations.
During the operation, officers seized a large quantity of Class A and B drugs, cash, a vehicle, and a firearm.
Detective Inspector Zara Baker commented, “This morning’s warrants are another strong message to those involved in drug-related criminality and our commitment to tackling this issue. These warrants were a direct result of community concerns in Camden. We know that drugs are inextricably linked to violence and that people are exploited through drug supply. Through operations like this, we can further safeguard, reassure, and reach vulnerable people who may be affected by this criminal activity.”
