Cops shut down crack den in De Beavoir

Police have closed down a crack den in De Beauvoir that had become a magnet for dealers.

Officers obtained a closure order for the flat following complaints about drug dealing in and around the premises.

The raid was carried out by officers from Dalston and De Beauvoir safer neighbourhood team last Thursday night.

The property will remain closed for up to six months and anyone caught entering will be arrested.

Sgt Shaju Bashaharan said: "I hope this action sends a positive message to the community that we work with the information they provide to us and take whatever action is necessary to improve their lives and tackle crime.
