Over £400,000 of suspected criminal cash has been seized in police raids of a Wembley and Islington flat this week thanks to an Organised Crime Partnership (OCP) encrypted comms investigation.
Investigators from the OCP, a joint NCA and Metropolitan Police Service unit, uncovered a drug supply network believed to be running their business over the encrypted comms platform EncroChat.
Through analysing thousands of EncroChat messages referencing the movement of vast sums of cocaine and money throughout the UK, they gained enough intel to conduct a raid on Wednesday 26 May and seized over £400,000 in cash at a Wembley and an Islington flat, roughly £200,000 in each.
