Three suspects have been snapped up in a major Lewisham police swoop over shocking charges including kidnapping, threats to kill, and possession of Class B drugs.
Weapon Found in Trainee-Led Search

The arrests and weapon haul are part of a wider probe into escalating violence hitting south-east London communities.
“Officers-in-training locate large weapon in suspect’s home during a Section 18 search after 3 suspects were arrested for suspicion of kidnapping, threats to kill and possession of Class B drugs. Officers continue to tackle violence in the south-east,” tweeted Lewisham MPS.
Investigation Ongoing – More Details Awaited
