Police seize cocaine with £500,000 street value in Bromley

Three men and a woman were arrested yesterday, as officers acted on intelligence gathered through an ongoing investigation into the supply of class A drugs in south east London and Kent.

One of the four men arrested was seen leaving an address in Bromley and meeting with another man in a white van.

Both men were detained and searched, as officers discovered 8kgs of suspected cocaine.

A search of the Bromley address revealed a further 2kgs.

Another man and a woman arrived at the Bromley address and were also arrested.

All four, aged between 26 and 42, were arrested for being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs, namely cocaine, and taken to custody where they remain.

Detective Inspector Nikki Owen, from the Met’s Specialist Crime South, said: “Removing approximately half a million pounds worth of Class A drugs in an afternoon is great work by Met officers.

“Within a few hours we deployed, detained and arrested three men and one woman involved in the supply of drugs – which is the catalyst for violent crime that so many of us are concerned about.

“Drugs can devastate lives, ruin families and damage communities.”
