UK- Social clubs acting as fronts for "cannabis cafés" have been shut down in the latest police squeeze on drug dealers.

A former post office in Westbury Avenue and another shop in Lordship Lane, Wood Green, had been operating as sham "shops" for many months, but the only product on offer was cannabis, said Sergeant Andy Underwood, head of the Noel Park Safer Neighbourhoods Team.

Sergeant Underwood added: "It has been a concerted effort by the team. We have been working on it for quite a long time, and it is one of our ward priorities.

"We are quite pleased. It was a lot of money that was going through there. It was a busy place, and they will be looking to recoup that, no doubt.

"We have got to make sure that they don't start dealing outside the premises now."

The Westbury Avenue premises was shut down and sealed up last week, while the Lordship Lane premises has been shut for some time, said the sergeant.

He added: "They had a front of a café, but there was no legitimate selling going on there; there was no stock in there to be sold.

"We identified the landlords and worked with the council, executed search warrants, arrested three people and closed down the premises. It was quite a good result.
