Detectives in bio-hazard suits and breathing apparatus have raided a property in Brixton as part of an investigation into drug supplies.

Dozens of officers were seen near the property in Acre Lane on Sunday.

Some wore protective overalls and breathing apparatus.

The search was executed alongside two other warrants, including one for a property on Lakeview Road, Streatham, as part of an “intelligence-led” investigation.
