A suspected drug dealer was arrested after police were given anonymous tip-offs.

The Met raided an address in Edmonton at 6.55am on Thursday and seized suspected class A drugs including heroin and crack cocaine.

Police also seized £800 in cash and mobile phones.

A 39-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply class A drugs.

Police say the man is suspected of dealing class A drugs within the local community, exploiting vulnerable people to transport the drugs for him.

The neighbourhood officers involved in the investigation are part of a dedicated team co-ordinating the area’s response to drugs and violence.

The team of 11 officers work on investigations to develop vital information about violent crime in the community.

Inspector Matt Chapman said: "This arrest proves how vital Crimestoppers charity really is. We have no idea who submitted the intelligence as the information is 100% anonymous however I am grateful to anyone who called as it has resulted in this arrest.

"The man we arrested this morning is clearly very dangerous and has exploited vulnerable people for his own criminal gains.

"This arrest is part of our wider efforts to disrupt violence and take dangerous criminals off the streets and prevent them causing further harm.

"Having a bespoke team who are working hard in the area to stop people such as this man is vital in our wider efforts to reduce harm and violence."
