Last week, the Met led a three-day operation to disrupt high-risk offenders, assisting in the removal of drugs and weapons from the streets. Officers from Thames Valley, Hertfordshire, Surrey, Sussex, West Midlands, and British Transport Police collaborated to prevent criminals from using arterial roads and rail networks to transport weapons and drugs both in London and into surrounding counties.
