Hammersmith and Fulham Council work with Met Police to take young drug dealers off the street (22 October 2015)
Date: 22/10/2015
Hammersmith and Fulham council officers have helped the Metropolitan Police identify and jail drug dealers operating in White City in west London.
The dealers – some as young as 15 – were selling heroin and cocaine.
Police officers from Hammersmith & Fulham performed 10 dawn raids across the White City estate and Shepherds’ Bush in July, following intelligence gained from the community.
As a result of the raids, Class A and B drugs were seized, along with £24,000 in cash.
Some of the young dealers – all aged between 15 and 22 – have now been convicted and sentenced, with sentences of up to five years. During September and October, a total of eight dealers were dealt with by the courts, including a 15-year-old who was given a year’s detention and training order.
Hammersmith & Fulham Borough Commander, Chief Superintendent Gideon Springer, said:
“These jail sentences are all about the great teamwork between the Met Police and H&F Council, as the council’s team helped us identify the criminals. We are all trying to make White City safer.”
H&F Council’s Cabinet Member for Social Inclusion. Councillor Sue Fennimore, said:
"These sentences are a clear message that we will not tolerate criminals in Hammersmith & Fulham.
“We will continue to work closely with local residents and the police to protect our communities, where crimes like this can have a devastating impact.”
