Here’s a quick update on drugs dealing crime in your area, please be reassured that we’re taking this seriously and are here to help. This is to update you about our recent activities in the N10 area of the ward.
" You said, we did."
On Wednesday 12th August 2026 your local SNT officers with the help of neighbouring SNT officers executed an organised warrant at a property in the N10 area of the ward. Some of you would have seen some police presence in that area yesterday. This warrant was a part of a proactive operation to disrupt drug dealing and supply together with all the criminality it attracts on the ward and Barnet Borough.
This warrant was conducted following intelligence linking the address to drug dealing and storage of weapons.
" Following the forced entry into the address, officers carried out a thorough search of the property, uncovering a large amount of Class A, B and C drugs believed to the value of around twenty five thousand pounds (£25k) and approximately One thousand five hundred and one pounds (£1,501) in cash, drug-packaging equipment including snap bags and vacuum-seal bags, drug paraphernalia, and a number of offensive weapons concealed throughout the address. Items recovered included a machete, knives, and a katana sword hidden under furniture and behind household items. "
" A male was arrested at the address on suspicion of possession of offensive weapons, being concerned in the supply of Class A and Class B drugs, possession of controlled drugs, handling stolen goods, and possession of articles for use in fraud. Suspected drugs recovered included heroin, crack cocaine, cannabis, hashish, codeine, nitrous oxide, and promethazine. Two vehicles linked to the address were also searched and a further Class A drugs were recovered."
Your local policing team is sending a strong message to those involved in drug dealing and criminal activities on the ward. We will get you.
This operation will not have been successful without intelligence coming through to us. Please continue to report suspicious activities to the police.
Many thanks,
 Drug dealing is often linked with violent crime and the exploitation of vulnerable people, and discarded drug equipment can be a health risk and counts as antisocial behaviour. We’ve put hundreds more officers on the frontlines of community crime-fighting teams, upping visible patrols in the right ‘hot spots’ so we can deter and catch criminals. We are committed to tackling drug dealing wherever we find it. It forms a key part of our recently published ASB Action Plan. 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 have experienced drug dealing in your area, please report it using our online reporting tools at https://www.met.police.uk 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 www.crimestoppers-uk.org |
