Six people have been arrested during the operation aiming to smash drug gangs supplying crack cocaine and heroin in north London.
Officers burst in to seven homes across Islington, Camden and Peckham on Tuesday morning.

The suspects were accused of exploiting vulnerable drug users to sell their drugs for them.
A significant amount of Class A drugs and cash has been recovered along with a large amount of valuable goods believed to be the proceeds of crime.
Detective Inspector Zara Baker, from the dedicated drugs and gangs squad, said: “These arrests are the result of months of work by detectives who are committed to removing drugs from the streets of London and protecting the most vulnerable people in society from being exploited by criminals.
“We know the devastating impact drugs can have on individuals and wider communities. Drug supply is often linked to serious violent crime, as well as anti-social behaviour and theft. By targeting criminals who sell drugs, and working with the public and our partners, we can make Camden and Islington an even safer place to live, visit and work.”
