Good News Story
On the 13th of May, officers from Forest Hill SNT assisted by those from Perry Vale ward, executed a Section 23 Misuse of Drugs Act Warrant at an address within one of the residential blocks on Dacres Road, SE23. Having gained entry to the property, an address previously raided by officers, another quantity of drugs was seized. The lone tenant was arrested for possession of Cannabis, charged and subsequently remanded on bail to Bromley Magistrates Court.

You Said, We Listened, We Did
Officers from your local policing team have been conducting high visibility patrols within Forest Hill’s Town Centre following complaints of street drinkers in the area. Officers have dealt with a number of individuals and seized numerous cans of alcohol. These offenders were then told to leave the area having been found acting in this anti social manner due to the consumption of alcohol. We will continue to deal with this issue and any person found acting anti socially within the ward whether they are drunk or not.
