Sadly, we continue to receive reports of open drug dealing across the ward. When we see the dealing ourselves or hear from concerned residents, we liaise with our local dedicated police officer, PC Henderson and the specialist local gangs’ unit. We are seeing results including a recent police operation in Warwick Square/St Georges Drive/Gloucester Street which led to the arrest of a leading drug dealer. Officers recovered a large amount of Class A drugs (crack cocaine and heroin), cash and phones used for dealing.
We have since learnt that he was subsequently sentenced to three years imprisonment. Westminster City Council’s Integrated Street Engagement Unit continues to work alongside the Met’s Gangs Unit who continue to monitor Pimlico and carry out similar operations when the intelligence is gathered. If you suspect drug dealing is raising its ugly head in your area, please do not hesitate to contact us or the police direct.
