In total, 45 arrests were made for offences including possession with intent to supply class A drugs, possession of offensive weapons, and shoplifting.

Insp Yu Zhang, who led the operation, said: “This crackdown has seen drugs, weapons and dangerous illegal e-bikes taken off the streets.

“We know these offences are ones that our communities care about, and they want to see officers taking robust action.”

“We have done exactly that, this week-long operation will disrupt the criminal networks in Kilburn, ensuring the area is undoubtedly safer for the community.”
