Suspected drug dealer arrested in Borehamwood

A suspected drug dealer was arrested after being located by officers in Borehamwood.

Officers, acting on intelligence, stopped a vehicle on Stirling Way and conducted a search. This uncovered cannabis in deal bags, multiple phones and over £1,500 in cash.

The driver, a man aged 27 and from Edgware, Greater London, was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply class B drugs.

The vehicle, a Silver Ford Transit Connect, was seized for being uninsured.

PC Jack Laycock, from the Hertsmere Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: “We are serious about tackling drugs in the borough and I hope this news is reassuring to residents. As part of this arrest, we’ve also removed a vehicle from an uninsured driver. I am sure this will be pleasing news to all those who do the right thing and pay for their vehicle insurance.”
