Three people have been arrested after police seized suspected Class A and B drugs during a raid in Sutton.

Officers from the Sutton Neighbourhood Policing Team, supported by the Territorial Support Group, executed a warrant at a property on Spencer Road in Hackbridge this week.

The operation followed reports from residents about anti-social behaviour and suspected criminal activity at the address.

A significant quantity of suspected drugs, cash, and other items linked to drug supply were recovered during the search.

Police believe the property had been exploited by individuals involved in criminal activity.

The address has now been returned to its lawful owners.

A police spokesman said: "This warrant is the result of information provided by the local community and demonstrates our commitment to tackling drug-related crime, anti-social behaviour and the exploitation of vulnerable people.

"By working together, we can continue to make Sutton a safer place to live, work and visit."
