Police in Enfield and Haringey have made over 30 arrests following an intelligence-led operation targeting drug dealing and violence.
The arrests have taken place following an eight-month-long investigation into criminality in north London.
Of those arrested, 30 of then men are aged between 17 and 26 and have been charged with drug supply offences, and one 17-year-old was arrested for money laundering.
More than 80 officers took place in this morning’s activity, led by officers from the North Area Proactive Unit and the Territorial Support Group.
A number of items were seized, including nearly £17,000 in cash, a Samurai sword, a CS canister and quantities of class A and class B drugs.
Detective Chief Inspector Dave Kennett of the North Area Proactive Unit, said: “These arrests demonstrate our commitment to the people of Enfield and Haringey that we are determined to reduce violence and disrupt the associated supply of class A drugs.
“Gang-related crime is responsible for a high proportion of violence in these boroughs and this morning’s raids are part of our plan to bring the individuals responsible for this violence, to justice.
“We have listened to the concerns of the community and have taken, and will continue to take action. By targeting gang members and those responsible for the supply of class A drugs, we can help to make communities safer and reduce the amount of violence on the streets of Enfield and Haringey.
“I would urge anyone with information about individuals engaged in drug dealing to contact police, either via 101 or anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
