On Tuesday, officers gained entry to a Romford warehouse, where they found approximately £500,000 in items believed to be stolen, such as sun lotion and facial cream. The operation stemmed from a Metropolitan Police inquiry lasting a year, targeting an organised crime group. On Friday, a 34-year-old man was apprehended for allegedly handling stolen property, and £9,000 in cash was also discovered.
