Two arrests have been made after police drugs raided a house in Croydon and found Class A drugs and £10,000 in cash inside.

Officers found the cocaine, heroin and cash following a search of criminal activity in ten residential properties at Thornton Heath.

A 38-year-old man and a 36-year-old woman were arrested on suspicion of being involved in the supply of Class A drugs, possession with intent to supply Class A drugs and money laundering.

The search was carried out in the morning of Thursday, January 20 as part of an operation targeting criminal activity in south London.

The pair remain in custody at a south London police station.

Inspector Stephen Warnes, from the Safer Neighbourhoods Team in Thornton Heath, said: "Today's operation was the result of acting on information from the local community who raised concerns about drug dealing in the area.

"Tackling violent crime and the supply of drugs is a top priority for the Met, which includes targeting the drivers which fuel it."
