Two boats on the Grand Union Canal in Uxbridge were raided by police this morning.

Officers forced entry to the boats at 7.25am, which were on moorings off Rockingham Road.

The Uxbridge Safer Neighbourhood Team along with the Marine Support Unit carried out the intelligence led raid.

They had received complaints from nearby residents, who suspected there was drug dealing taking place on the boat.

When raided, there were cannabis plants found and evidence of dealing including bagged up money and weighing scales.

A man and a woman, who were on one of the boats, were detained by the officers.

Two dogs were also taken off the boat by police dog handlers.

Police are currently carrying out a search of the boats.
