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.

On Tuesday 9th September 2025 Northumberland Park SNT, in company with Tottenham Hale and Bruce Castle SNT's executed a drugs warrant. The warrant was issued by Highbury Corner Magistrates Court after an application to the court by officers from Northumberland Park SNT. This was due to concerns raised by the community about an address in the N17 area that was believed to be involved in the distribution of drugs and causing ASB in the immediate area. One male has been arrested after a quantity of Class A drugs, cash and a phone with messages related to drug distribution were recovered at the address.
