Dawn Raids Target Gang Crime Across London
The arrests came after a blitz on Thursday, 23 July, with multiple warrants executed in north and east London. The operation was led by Trident East, part of the Met’s Specialist Crime North team.
Two others—a 21-year-old man and a 56-year-old woman—were arrested but have since been released under investigation as enquiries continue.
This crackdown sends a clear message: London’s streets won’t tolerate gun crime and drug dealing.
