Top Cop Vows to Strike Violent Crime at Source
Detective Sergeant John Cowell said: “The arrests made this morning will have a positive impact on dismantling this organised crime group we are confident are involved in the supply of Class A drugs. The supply of Class A drugs is the fuel for violent crime that officers from the Met are committed to tackling. It remains our top priority.”
