Two men from Dagenham and Brentwood have been arrested for drug offences following a number of raids across the capital.  

The Commissioner of the Met, Dame Cressida Dick, joined the officers as they executed warrants in the early hours of Wednesday, 16 February.

Police attended briefings at 04:00 before they carried out the dawn raids at 6 properties as part of a larger operation. 

In total four men were arrested for offences including conspiracy to supply Class A drugs and conspiracy to possess a firearm.

All four men who have been arrested are being treated as separate investigations. 

A 32-year-old man from Brentwood was arrested for conspiracy to supply over 100kg of cocaine as well as on conspiracy to supply Class B drug, ketamine.

Another 32-year-old man, from Dagenham, was also arrested for conspiracy to supply cocaine.

They both remain in police custody as investigations continue. 

The other two men who were arrested were from Chelmsford and West Drayton. 

Detective Chief Inspector Driss Hayoukane QPM, of Specialist Crime, said, “The four men we arrested early this morning are very dangerous individuals who are engaged in organised criminality and drug dealing which drives violence across London.

“This is truly a whole Met effort with officers from various teams coming together to focus on the Met’s priority, tackling violence. The investigations aim to cut violence at the very source and we know serious violence in London has reduced and it is thanks to operations such as this.”
