In the early hours of yesterday morning, police in Bexley arrested two people in connection with narcotics.
Officers from Thamesmead Safer Neighbourhoods Team (SNT) raided Clewer House, in Wolvercote Road, at 6.30am following intelligence that drug dealing was taking place.
A 26-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possession, with intent to supply, after police recovered bags of cannabis, scales, three mobile phones and over £1,000 in cash.

Fifteen minutes later a second policing team from Thamesmead executed a second raid in Throwley Road, Abbey Wood.
Officers found cannabis, three phones, approximately £500 in cash and thousands of used resealable bags, often used to store cannabis.

Thamesmead SNT Sergeant, Luke Thomas said: "Tackling drug abuse and supply is our priority. Every bit of intelligence we receive is acted upon. As a team we have executed dozens of warrants in 2015 and will continue to do so.”
Both men have been bailed to return to a south-east London police station later in the year, pending further enquiries.
Anyone with information about crime should contact Sergeant Thomas on 020 8721 2049 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
