A 34-year-old man is in custody after a raid on a flat in Ealing discovered heroin with an estimated street value of £7.2million.
Bernard Narh, from South Oxhey, Hertfordshire, was arrested by officers from the Organised Crime Partnership – a joint National Crime Agency and Metropolitan Police Service unit – on Tuesday (28 January).
He was charged with drugs possession with intent to supply, after officers discovered over 140 blocks of heroin after searching the flat in Ealing. The police have not revealed the address where the warrant was served.
Narh was also charged with driving a vehicle while disqualified and without insurance.
He appeared at Uxbridge Magistrates' Court this Thursday (30 January), where he was remanded into custody before his next appearance at Isleworth Crown Court on 27 February.
Andrew Tickner, NCA Operations Manager from the Organised Crime Partnership, said, "We have successfully removed a large amount of dangerous drugs from the streets, depriving a crime group of profits that would have been ploughed back into further offending.
"The NCA and Metropolitan Police continue to work in partnership to take action against individuals suspected of involvement in drug trafficking which has a corrosive impact on communities in London."
