GUNS CRACK DOWN
I was invited to be a community observor at last night's operation Hermes.
Operation Hermes is an exercise to identify known criminals with guns records.
A team of 150 officers. headed by a commander set up a road block in Brixton last night.
There is an armed team and several armed response vehicles. Approaching vehicles have their number plates read and checked against a whole bank of records ranging from Police to DVLA.
they are then pulled in. There are two bays one for non weapon based suspicion these are dealt with by unarmed officers and arms associated stops.
Last night's operation took place in Croydon then moved to Brixton severl arrests were made and vehicles impounded.
The teams go out at least twice a month and cover Lambeth Southwark Lewsisham and
Croydon
