Officers from the Blackfen and Lamorbey Safer Neighbourhood Team, supported by squads from Blendon, Penhill, Falconwood, and Welling, conducted a targeted raid at a Blackfen address. The operation uncovered a significant quantity of drugs, cash, and luxury items.
The seizure included £22,000 in cash, four mobile phones, 750 bags of suspected ketamine, 175 vials of suspected Class 1 drugs, 100 suspected MDMA tablets, seven snap bags of suspected crack cocaine, 15 snap bags of suspected crystal meth, four Rolex watches, one imitation firearm, and one stolen vehicle.
Two suspects were arrested during the raid and are currently in police custody. Authorities are continuing their investigations to determine the full extent of the criminal network and to identify any additional individuals involved.
A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said, “This warrant and arrests show our relentless drive to tackle illegal drugs and keep communities safe. The operation was a team effort, and seized evidence will be carefully examined.”
Police are encouraging local residents to report any suspicious drug activity anonymously through Crimestoppers or by calling 101.
The community has expressed support for the police efforts, describing the crackdown as a vital step towards cleaning up the area. Authorities emphasise the importance of community vigilance in combating organised crime effectively.
