Warrant executed today in E7

Dear residents, 

Officers executed a warrant at a residential address in Forest Gate E7 this morning. 

A large quantity of Class B drugs and several offensive weapons were found and seized. An individual was arrested for possession with intent to supply Class B drugs and possession of an offensive weapon. 

In other news, our team worked night duty shifts last Friday and Saturday night, focusing on soliciting and kerb crawling along the Romford Road E15/E7 area. As a result of our patrols, three individuals were arrested for soliciting offences and another individual was arrested for a violence against women and girls (VAWG) related offence. 

This is just a snapshot of some of the work your local team are doing to address concerns raised to us by residents. 

Best wishes, 

Forest Gate South Safer Neighbourhoods Team
