A man, aged 28, who was inside the address at the time of the drugs warrant, was arrested for possession of Class A and Class B, money laundering and possession of a Section 5 firearm. He has been bailed to return in July.
The officers led by St Helier Safer Neighbourhoods Team were responding to information received from the local community.
St Helier Sgt Lee Burgess said: “Drugs tend to fuel crimes such as burglary and thefts from vehicles as criminals need to steal goods to give them the money to feed their drugs habits.
“By disrupting and removing the drugs supply locally we can help to reduce crime across the borough – so it is really important for residents to get in touch with police if they are suspicious that addresses in their street are being used for drugs purposes.
“These operations will continue, and coupled with residents’ continuing support and information, we can make Sutton, already one of the safest boroughs in London, even safer.”
If you have any information, contact Sutton Police station on 101. If you are suspicious of anyone hanging around near a property or vehicle, or you see a crime being committed, contact police immediately on 999.
