More cannabis factories

Two more cannabis factories were found

during the last two weeks as a result of

search warrants. One on Regina Road in

South Norwood where the local team re-

covered just over 20 full grown plants and

the occupant was arrested for cannabis

cultivation and abstracting electricity. The

second was on Middlefields, Selsdon Vale

& Forestdale where the local officers

found 87 plants with a professional set up.

Nobody resides at the address and it is

clearly rented for the purposes of growing

cannabis. This is a growing trend across

Croydon (excuse the pun!) and the more

we close the more pop up.

Stop and search works Priddy’s yard

An excellent stop and search by APS Neil Alli-

son of the Tasking Team. He observed two

males making an exchange on Priddy’s Yard

near East Croydon and used his search powers.

The subject was found with two bags of canna-

bis, a burner phone and the knife in the picture

above. He has been charged with possession of

points & blades and possession of cannabis.

CBO breaches

Three individuals who have been issued Crimi-

nal Behaviour Orders reappeared last week

during Operation Mankib and were arrested for

breaching their conditions. All three were

charged and remanded to court. We hope to

obtain more so watch this space.

More drugs Stanger Road

Officers from the SNT, Tasking Team and Street Du-

ties executed simultaneous drugs warrants at differ-

ent locations linked to one dealer. One address was

negative and it appeared that the second was also

going to draw a blank. One of the officers managed

to pull of a fake panel from above the microwave and

two large wraps of class A were found. Unfortunately

the photo doesn't have anything to show the scale

but both pieces were the size of credit cards. The

owner returned to the Police Station to collect his

new keys, as we’d carefully removed his door with a

battering ram, and was promptly arrested for posses-

sion with intent to supply class A.

Thornton Heath Officers we on patrol responding to concerns of

drug dealing in Beulah Road. As they walked into

the road they spotted who they believed was the

tenant of the addressed concerns. They had

cause for concern and used their stop and search

powers. A clear plastic container was found hid-

den under a nearby car with multiple wraps of

class A found inside. The suspect was arrested

for possession with intent to supply class A and

his house was searched as well. Further quanti-

ties of class A and B were found in the house

including scales and money which led to the

mother being arrested as well.

The team also conducted a joint visit with Immi-

gration at a premises in Thornton Heath. Two

were arrested for illegal entry and as they were

leaving a male who is well known in the locality

for anti-social behaviour urinated in front of the

officers. He was arrested for outraging public

decency, charged and we are also looking at a

CBO for him.

Closure Notice Stroud Green Gardens

PC Dean Littlewood has been hard at work

helping the Council to secure a Closure Notice

at Stroud Green Gardens. This is after a raft of

anti-social behaviour calls to Police and the local

authority. The tenant has been evicted, the prop-

erty has been secured and will be closed for

some time.
