Police Raid Hackney Pad, Snatch £1 Million in Drugs!
Thanks to a tip-off from the public, cops swooped on a Stoke Newington house and bagged over £1 million worth of illegal drugs.
Massive Haul Found in Unoccupied Hackney Home
On Tuesday 13 July, officers from the Central East Command Unit raided a property on Church Street. They uncovered a stash of Class A, B, and C drugs, including:
- Around 51kg of pills, believed to be MDMA
- 6kg of ketamine
- 4kg of crack cocaine
- 4kg of cocaine
- 5kg of hash and cannabis resin
The house was empty when police carried out the warrant.
Investigation Underway, But No Arrests Yet
The Central East Drugs Focus Desk is leading the probe, but so far no arrests have been made.
Detective Sergeant Green Preston said: “This is a great example of the police working with the public to tackle drug supply within our communities. Drugs are inextricably linked to violence and misery on the streets of London and we will do everything in our power to bear down on the criminal gangs responsible.
This is a significant seizure suspected to be worth over £1 million – money that would have gone into the pockets of organised criminals who supply the drugs markets across Hackney and Tower Hamlets. I’m glad that we’ve been able to disrupt their criminality and we’ll keep working to bring them to justice.”
