“A significant amount of drugs have now been taken off the streets of Havering, along with ammunition that had the potential to kill or cause serious injury.
“My officers work hard to keep their ward safe and their actions have shown they are proving successful in the fight against crime.”
The charge of possessing ammunition without certificate was discharged.
