A significant operation by the National Crime Agency (NCA) led to the lockdown of a street in Plumstead on Tuesday morning. Officers conducted a raid on a property shortly after 11 AM as part of an ongoing investigation.
The specific details of the operation have not been disclosed, and the NCA has yet to release an official statement regarding the nature of the investigation. Residents reported a substantial police presence, with the area remaining cordoned off as authorities continued their work.
This incident follows a series of NCA operations targeting organized crime in London. In August 2023, a raid in Plumstead resulted in two arrests and the seizure of a large collection of knives, multiple mobile phones, and counterfeit money from a suspected brothel.
More recently, in November 2024, the NCA arrested five individuals in London as part of an investigation into a migrant smuggling network.
The public is advised to avoid the area to allow officers to carry out their duties without hindrance. Further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
