At least ten police officers have been seriously injured following a police operation in Barnet.

At around 13:50hrs on Wednesday, 23 September, officers attended an industrial area in Dale Close, Barnet, to execute a drugs warrant as part of a proactive and pre-planned operation.

As the officers executed the warrant, they were injured by a suspected corrosive substance.

Full enquiries into the exact circumstances of the incident are continuing. At least ten police officers are believed to have suffered serious injuries and are receiving medical treatment. All have been taken to hospital.

The Met is awaiting an assessment of the extent of the injuries. However, none of the officer’s who have been injured are believed to be in a life-threatening condition.

A spokesperson for the Met confirmed that they are working to inform the officer’s families.

Several males were arrested at the scene on suspicion of drug offences.

The males who were arrested have been taken to hospital having also suffered injuries related to the substance.

Officers remain at the scene and enquiries continue.

The London Ambulance Service and London Fire Brigade are also in attendance.

The Met’s Directorate of Professional Standards has been informed as is routine.

The incident is not being treated as terror-related.

WE NEED YOUR HELP.Here at Emergency Services News, we aim to tell you stories that the mainstream media are not interested in reporting. Whilst the MSM love to berate and ridicule the emergency services, who is there to report on the realities of serving on the front line?

We do it because we are sick and tired of the mainstream media constantly trying to undermine the men and women who put their lives on the line to keep you and your family safe.

How many MSM journalists who speak ill of the emergency services have actually dared to don the uniform and risk their own lives to save the life of a complete stranger?

    I think it is absolutely dreadful the way our police are having to continue putting their lives at risk, and these animals get away with it , with judges giving stupid sentences when they are in court.

    In a generation full of casual recreational drug users and uneducated firey youngsters watching the news and social media… I am sick to death of the negative stigma around police. You’ve all been grouped as one. Even before the riots in America, police have been shamed and name called and ridiculed. It’s so naive. Just because they’re worried about the 20bag in their sock. They dont think about who they would need to call if someone broke into their house or if their loved one was being attacked.. they’ll need you one day, and you’ll be there. As a firey uneducated youngster, I’d like to say: I have massive respect for you, I appreciate you, I know you have to cope with many things on a daily basis that none of us would be able to handle, and I know you put your lives on the line for us, and that your families worry about you. Thankyou for everything you do. These articles make my heart hurt. 💙
