Police Chief Hails ‘Fantastic Result’ for Community
Detective Chief Inspector Helen Flanagan of Hounslow CID praised the operation’s impact. She said: “Taking all of these men off the streets is a fantastic result for the local community and London in general. They were all linked to the supply of Class A and B drugs and by putting them behind bars, we disrupt the drug supply into the capital.”
“Operation Buxton shows our commitment to keep Hounslow safe and respond to community concerns. We will keep targeting drug dealers to reduce knife crime, violence, and other associated offences.”
She added: “We couldn’t do this without the support of our community, and I thank them for their ongoing help. This result shows that we listen and act on their concerns alongside the Local Authority.”
