Seven arrested in dawn drug raids as new police operation targets dealers

Surbiton.com: November 5, 2014 - 10:40am

Seven people were arrested in morning raids by police launching a new, six-month campaign to disrupt drug dealers. Operation Odin saw 50 officers raid 10 homes across the borough yesterday, including in New Malden, Tolworth and on the Cambridge Road estate.

Detective Chief Inspector Claire Moxon, head of Kingston CID, said Kingston was a big market for dealers from outside the borough. Drug-dealing is the main driver behind much anti-social behaviour, violence and criminal damage, she added.

Arrests will be used to gather intelligence for use further down the line. Tip-offs from the public are still key, DCI Moxon said.

Arrests:

A 22-year-old man from Kingston was arrested on suspicion with intent to supply class A drugs and cultivation of class B drugs.
A 21-year-old man from Kingston was arrested for possession with intent to supply class B drugs as well as being wanted for domestic assault and breaching his bail conditions.
A 20-year-old man of no fixed address was arrested on suspicion to supply class A drugs
A 32-year-old man from Kingston was arrested on suspicion of possession of class A drugs. He admitted possession and received a caution.
A 45-year-old man from Kingston was arrested for possession of class B drugs.
A 47-year-old woman from Surbiton was arrested on suspicion of possession of class A drugs. She has been bailed pending further enquiries.
A 35-year-old man from Tolworth received a cannabis warning.
