A suspected machine gun, as well as £100,000 in cash and a quantity of class A drugs, have been seized by officers after a vehicle stop and search in Brent. 

At around 19:00hrs on Thursday, 12 November, officers from the Met’s Violent Crime Taskforce were proactively patrolling on Chapter Road, NW2, when they stopped a vehicle.

As the vehicle was coming to a stop, officers noticed that the occupants threw various items out of the window onto the street. 

A total of three men were detained at the scene. 

Officers then retraced the route that the vehicle had taken prior to it coming to a stop. 

It was not long until officers found a large bag filled with what is believed to be heroin. 

As a result of what officers found, they carried out searches of three residential addresses.

In one address they found a suspected machine gun along with 30 rounds of ammunition. 

They also found around £100,000 in cash and around half a kilo of what is thought to be Class A drugs. 

Three men were arrested on suspicion of possession of a firearm, possession of criminal property and possession 9of drugs) with intent to supply

All three currently remain in custody.

Detective Chief Inspector Steve Brownlee, of the Violent Crime Taskforce, said: 

“The proactivity and quick-time actions of these officers has led to the discovery and seizure of a suspected machine gun – which could have been used to seriously harm or worse still, kill someone.

“Vehicle stops are a key tactic available to us, and this is an example of how the stop of one vehicle can lead onto further items being found and seized.

“Our officers are out every single day, conducting patrols and other proactive activity to keep Londoners safe, and we will not ease our pursuit of tackling drug and violent crime.”

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?

    The idea of a machine gun on the streets is horrifying. 30 rounds of rapid fire will make a big mess. We really must start sorting out some really tough sentences. Such people should not be allowed on the streets and using automatic weapons as part of drug turf wars is appalling. Sentencing should be measured in decades, not years, and no early release.

    Police do all the hard work investigating processing arresting these crimes and they do a brilliant job. Then as soon as these criminals are in court they get pathetic sentences. I wonder if the police think ya know what why do we bother! Our justice system needs a massive overhaul. If a person is found to be guilty then at that point human rights stop. Prison needs to be prison no computers or tv etc. Chain gangs and make them regret their actions. So to all you judges out there sort it out fgs
