Operation ELBERT

Operation ELBERT

Here’s a quick update on drugs dealing crime in your area, please be reassured that we’re taking this seriously and are here to help.

As part of tackling our local priorities and anti-social behaviour, local Safer Neighbourhood teams carried out Operation Elbert yesterday at Edmonton Green Train Station.

Supported by specialized passive drug dogs, officers conducted proactive operations to disturb drug supply/use and improve public safety in the area. The operation resulted in multiple proactive searches and successful seizure of drugs. Community Resolutions, Penalty Notice for Disorder, Community protection warnings were issued. Several arrest have been made.

Operations like operation Elbert are key for to disturbing local drug networks and keeping the residents, commuters and local businesses safe.

Drug dealing is often linked with violent crime and the exploitation of vulnerable people, and discarded drug equipment can be a health risk and counts as antisocial behaviour.  

We’ve put hundreds more officers on the frontlines of community crime-fighting teams, upping visible patrols in the right ‘hot spots’ so we can deter and catch criminals.

We are committed to tackling drug dealing wherever we find it. It forms a key part of our recently published ASB Action Plan. We will keep you updated on our efforts to do this in your area, but if you have any concerns or evidence, it is important you report this as soon as possible.
