Officers from Greenhill, Roxeth, and the Dogs Unit carried out patrols in the local area to address knife crime.
A vehicle on Havelock Road in Wealdstone was stopped after a cannabis smell was detected, and drug paraphernalia was seen inside.
The driver was detained under Section 23 of the Misuse of Drugs Act. A search of the vehicle and the driver resulted in the discovery of a suspected Class A substance. The driver was arrested for possession.
Checks revealed the driver was uninsured, leading to the vehicle being seized and a Traffic Offence Report being issued.
The driver was suspected of drug use and failed to provide a sample for roadside testing, leading to further arrest. Additionally, multiple cards in different names were found inside the vehicle, and the driver was arrested for handling stolen goods.
The driver was charged and bailed pending a court appearance. This was shared by Harrow MPS via social media.
