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.

Today your local Safer Neighbourhoods Team Officers were conducting patrols in the block of flats on Trinity Way and surrounding areas, as previous intelligence suggests that youths regularly deal and use drugs. Whilst on patrol and upon checking the usual hiding spots on each floor of the block, Officers found a significant amount of cannabis, empty snap bags, a couple of weighing scales as well as other items that suggests they are intended for distribution. Along with all this, a large knife was also found stashed away inside a dry riser box. Officers were also shocked to see this and these items have now been recovered safely. This was a great find by your local policing team and we will continue to ensure the safety of our community.

Another knife and amount of drugs off our streets!
