Local Priorities Drug use Concern Update

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.

We patrolled the Canons Estate last night after getting numerous reports of anti-social behaviour and drug use in the late hours of the evening.

We came across a group of 4 about to smoke their carefully rolled cannabis joint. All 4 were searched with a further amount of cannabis found inside the vehicle they were sat inside. One male was given a street warning for the possession of cannabis as it was their first offence.

We will continue to patrol this area on our late shifts where we can and deal with any ASB/Drug Use.

We are committed to tackling drug dealing wherever we find it. We will keep you updated on our efforts to do this in your area, but if you have any concerns or evidence, it is important you report this as soon as possible.  

If you ever experience this issue or have information regarding an incident, please report it using our online reporting tools at https://www.met.police.uk/, speak to an operator in our Force Communications Room via our online web chat or call the non-emergency number 101.  

Alternatively, you can stay 100% anonymous by contacting the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or via their untraceable online form at crimestoppers-uk.org.
