POLICE have arrested a suspected cannabis grower during a raid on a home in Redbridge.
Officers arrested the 17-year-old during an operation in Sunderland Way, Wanstead, on Wednesday May 5 - which was carried out after complaints from residents about drug dealing in the area.
The raid was led by officers from Wanstead Safer Neighbourhoods Team (SNT).
A police spokeswoman said: "Wanstead SNT have devised an extensive programme of engagement opportunities to enable residents to discuss any issues or concerns they have about their area.
"The dates, times and locations are advertised for three months in advance on the Safer Neighbourhoods website and the meetings have proved to be very successful and popular with numbers increasing.
"The feedback has been very positive and has shown a huge level of support for the police."
