Cops seize drugs in river haul

Posted by Adam Courtney on Nov 11, 08 05:10 PM in Crime

River police joined forces with the Environment Agency and made a string of arrests in a crime clampdown on the Thames.

Operation Inveigle focused on the stretch of river between Shepperton and Teddington Locks and officers spent four days making arrests, including one for possession of Class A drugs and two for possession of stolen goods. They also made three seizures of herbal cannabis and reported five vessels for unlicenced activity.

River PC Jim Halstead said: "Our partnership with the EA has gone from strength to strength over the last few years and we are now working with the Met. I welcome the multi-agency approach to policing the river and we have improved our joint working over the past few years."
