Drugs, cash and weapons were seized and two men have been charged as part of a police operation targeting London drug lines.
Police said they conducted three warrants last week (April 19) as part of Operation Yamata, in which Met officers use data analysis to dismantle drug dealing networks.
In a tweet on MPS Islington’s Twitter account, the force said that it recovered “a quantity of crack cocaine and heroin”, around £15,000 in cash and “a number of offensive weapons”.
Officers said that two men had been arrested and subsequently charged with six offences.
Pictures posted by the force showed drugs wrapped in a plastic bag, as well as two mobile phones and a safe filled with wads of cash.
