Local Priorities Drug dealing/ drug use Message

I wanted to provide an update regarding drug dealing / drug use, which some members around this area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the Met Engage priority survey.

MARYLAND SNT have recently received ongoing intelligence from local residents stating of continuous drug dealing taking place throughout local areas seven days a week. Due to all the times and areas this dealer/driver was involved with- it was a chance well taken by Officers when set up an Operation to deal with those involved. Vehicle was sighted when on way to specific dealing area and once parked in MANBEY ROAD E15 Officers from local SNTs rushed the vehicle involved and managed to stop the driver who was breaching his COMMUNITY PROTECTION NOTICE by PARKING/LOITERING in any part of E15 areas and was arrested. Also the dealer tried to run from the vehicle and was quickly detained by Officers inside MORRISONS Car Park where was found to be holding both class A and class B drugs as well as carrying a large zombie knife. Male was arrested for going equipped as well as for the offensive weapon. The vehicle involved was also lifted to local compound as has no INSURANCE/TAX/MOT.
WELL DONE all those who are supplying SNT with this sort of intelligence as it is much required!
