A WOMAN has been charged with possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life.
Jadeine Mills, 21, of Hall Lane in Chingford, was also charged with three counts of possession of a firearm and three counts of possession of ammunition on Tuesday, May 8.
She was arrested during a dawn raid on a property in Hall Road where weapons and amunituion were found hidden in rucksaks on Monday.
An automatic assault rifle, two handguns, ammunition concealed in condoms and loaded magazines were seized.
The raid was prompted by an upsurge in suspected gang violence in Chingford.
Three shots were fired at a house in Hazel Way at 1.40am before another home in nearby Russell Road came under fire at around 4.15am.
No one was injured in either incident.
Officers found a loaded gun, ammunition and cocaine at the homes of suspected gang members across the borough during an operation on Friday.
Mills will appear at Thames Magistrates Court today (May 9).
