A KNIFE was amongst the items seized as officers disrupting the supply of heroin and crack cocaine in Southend City arrested six people in a series of warrants.

Operation Raptor, the specialist county lines enforcement team, worked with the Metropolitan Police to target several addresses in London on Thursday 8 May.

This action followed an investigation into a suspected drug line, branded the ‘Cash/Money’ line, bringing Class A substances from London to the streets of Southend.

Warrants were executed at four addresses in Enfield and Haringey, with six arrests made, mobile phones and a weapon seized.

Charges of being concerned in the supply of heroin and crack cocaine have since been secured against:

Jaden Banton, 23, of Northumberland Avenue, Enfield.

Shaneyse Boyaram, 30, of Turkey Street, Enfield.

Robert Cooke, 48, of Kings Road, Southminster.

Ricole Douglas-Francis, 30, Warkworth Road, London.

Alisha Aveli-Yeates, 33, of Hartington Place, Southend.

All appeared before Southend Magistrates’ Court on Friday 9 May and are next due to appear at Basildon Crown Court on 6 June.

A 30-year-old man, from London, arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of controlled drugs will face no further action.
