At the time they were arrested, Chief Superintendent Gideon Springer, Hammersmith and Fulham Borough Commander, said: "Today's intensive operation has culminated from concerns, information and intelligence gathered from the community.

" We have recognised criminal activity in the form of drug dealing and associated violence in White City which has stemmed from gang related activity. This morning's action will have a significant impact on the supply of Class A drugs in and around the area and the crimes it produces.

"These raids send a powerful message to individuals who attempt to live outside of the law; we are watching those dealing drugs and will arrest those responsible as well as their associates.

"Together with the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham and the community we are determined to stop offenders in their tracks and prevent another victim falling into their hands. Our message is clear; if you are intent on committing crime, you risk an early morning wake up call from our team and a future behind bars."
