Three men and a teenager have been charged after a series of dawn raids following the death of a man in south east London, the Metropolitan Police have said.
The four individuals were arrested in Greenwich, south east London, on Wednesday, the force said in a statement on Thursday.
James Grant, 55 and Freddie Grant, 22, have both been charged with attempted murder and causing grievous bodily harm with intent.
Two others - Patrick Carey, 22, and an unnamed 14-year-old boy - have been charged with causing grievous bodily harm with intent.
The teenager was also charged with being concerned in the supply of class B drugs, police said.
All four males were due to appear at Bromley Magistrates’ Court today.
The charges come as part of an investigation into the alleged attempted murder of the 33-year-old man on 29 December 2019 in Throwley Close, Abbey Wood.
