Inspector Noori, from the East Area Command Unit, which covers Redbridge, said: “This was a fantastic effort by the Redbridge Safer Neighbourhoods teams who continue to work hard for our communities and ensure we deal with such matters robustly.

"If you are thinking of doing such things then think again, it is only a matter of time before my teams find you and bring you to justice.”
