OFFICERS from the Metropolitan Police's Specialist Crime Task Force have taken heroin worth £52,000 off the streets.
At 3pm on Tuesday, March 11, officers based in Waltham Forest raided an address in Ramsey Road, Leytonstone.
As a result, approximately five kilos of heroin were seized.
Mohammed Baba, 29, was arrested and subsequently charged with possession with intent to supply a class A drug.
He was remanded in custody to appear at Stratford Magistrates Court on 13th March 2008.
Det Insp Colin Stephenson of the Specialist Crime Directorate said: "The Central Task Force is committed to dismantling criminal networks that make their money through the selling of Class 'A' drugs and the supplying of firearms.
"The seizure of these drugs with a street value in excess of £52,000 again targets this criminal element in society and demonstrates the Met's drive to make the streets of London safer."
