Cannabis Seized During Police Operation

The Metropolitan Police are celebrating a proactive operation, which resulted in this seizure of cannabis from a random motorist.

On Saturday May 29, officers deployed a series of tactics to combat violence, drug offences and thefts, whilst also providing crime prevention advice in north Westminster.

Units from the Central West BCU – which covers Westminster – were joined by officers from the Roads and Transport Policing Command, Violence Suppression Units and Operation Venice.

Static stop sites were implemented at two locations in Westminster to target any offenders who may use London’s roads to distribute drugs. 

Officers also patrolled the area on foot and in cars to crackdown on violence and knife crime.

Six vehicles were seized for offences including driving without insurance and driving not in accordance with a licence.

Officers were also joined by members of the Met’s Volunteer Cadets, who carried out test purchase operations to discover whether any shopkeepers sold knives or alcohol to underage customers. 

Two premises will be prosecuted for selling alcohol.

One person was arrested on suspicion of possession, with intent to supply, Class B drugs.
