A 37-year-old man has been charged after a police raid took place in Sutton yesterday morning.

Gary Green, of Crown Road, has been charged with conspiracy to supply class A drugs after police executed a warrant on Thursday, February 25.

It comes as the police continue their battle against "serious organised crime" and as part of Operation Eternal, which targets those involved in criminality on encrypted devices.

Green was arrested and charged on the same day.

Chief Inspector Simon Corbin, from the Met’s Taskforce, said: “This is another great example of team work in the Met Police where specialist uniform officers have supported investigators in our ongoing battle against serious organised crime.

"The Met’s Territorial Support Group, who are trained with building entry and advanced public order skills, worked with detectives from Specialist Crime to execute a search warrant and safely detain a male with a history of violence on suspicion of being involved in the supply of controlled drugs.

“I am grateful for their professionalism and commitment in getting these difficult jobs done well, and for the support of the public who understand that these operations help to keep our communities safer.”
