 On Wednesday 3 October, a series of early morning raids in
Waltham Forest took place targeting those suspected of being involved
in drug supply and violence. They resulted in 20
arrests, including some in the local area.
The 19 men and one woman were arrested for a range of offences, including
possession with intent to supply Class A and B drugs. A sword, a hunting knife,
and significant amounts of cash were seized, and one of the men was also arrested
for possession of a firearm.
The Leader of Waltham Forest Council, Councillor Clare Coghill, accompanied officers on the
raids to find out more about how the police proactively target drug-dealers and
known gang members.
The Council is determined to tackle gang violence and
drug dealing and work with its local partners and the community to build safer,
stronger communities where all feel safe and welcome.
Cllr Coghill made a direct plea to residents for their assistance in keeping
young people safe. “We need people who witness drug offences and violent crime
to come forward and assist the police. It’s not acceptable to turn a blind eye
when we see people dealing drugs and committing violent acts.
“Together, we can beat the gangs and send them a clear message: You are not
welcome in Waltham Forest.”
Information can be given in confidence to the independent charity CrimeStoppers on 0800 555 111.
