Four more young men have been charged following an operation by Croydon police's dedicated gang squad.

Officers from Operation Pyrenaus made eight arrests in dawn raids on June 21 in relation to an attack on a teen in North End on May 18.

Police say four others have now been arrested and charged with affray in connection with the incident.

Operation Pyrenaus is part of Croydon police's Gang and Gun Focus Desk which was set up in April to tackle the emerging gang culture in the borough.
