A 26-year-old man from Hounslow has been arrested on suspicion of county lines drug dealing.

He’s one of three arrested this morning, in an operation that saw the Met Police team up with the Essex force.

Since November 2019, the Met says they’ve closed 527 lines, and arrested over 1,000 people.

Commissioner Cressida Dick says they want to make sure gangs “cannot profit they cause to the most vulnerable”.
