90 caught in police blitz on the West End

A blitz on anti-social behaviour in the West End has caught more than 90 drug dealers, muggers and other criminals, Scotland Yard revealed today.

Police seized £10,000 worth of cocaine in a raid on an address in Covent Garden and one dealer was allegedly caught with 51 rocks of crack cocaine in Tottenham Court Road.
