A man has been arrested after police recovered a large amount of cannabis.

On March 20, police conducted a stop and search in Darenth Road and arrested him for possession with intent to supply cannabis.

As part of the investigation police were given powers to effect entry to and search an address in the Mitcham area looking to secure further evidence.

Whilst in custody the 22-year-old man from Mitcham was found to be wanted, after a warrant was issued at Woolwich Crown Court for failure to appear at the same Court for a similar offence relating to drug supply.

He is currently being held at a south London police station whilst enquiries continue.
