Police Constable Francis Stanton, attached to Lambeth Proactive unit, commented: "Jardim was a prominent member of the Chemsex scene; organising parties and selling drugs to a large amount of men he met on the dating app, Grindr.
"Previously, a lot of Chemsex scene criminals were going under the radar, and not being detected, however we are making significant headway in the way we catch these criminals.

Not
only do they break the law by dealing drugs, but they also have a
negative impact on families, and communities, by getting people
addicted to illegal substances."
