The final two members of a 22-person drug dealing network have been jailed.

These two members were arrested in October 2018 following a series of dawn raids in Waltham Forest.

The 19 men and three women were arrested by officers from Trident, following an intelligence-led operation, codenamed Operation Nieuport, which targeted violent offenders and gang activity in East London.

During the course of the raids, drugs were seized, along with cash, mobile phone handsets, a handgun, a Samurai sword, three machetes and a can of pepper spray.

The majority of the defendants pleaded guilty and were sentenced on dates between October 2018 and March 2019

Aaron Nicholas-Wilks pleaded guilty on March 12.

He and Tre Fraser, who together ran the so-called 'AJ' drugs line, were the last of the group to be sentenced on Monday, April 1, concluding the operation.

Tre Fraser, 25, of no fixed abode, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to supply crack cocaine and heroin and he was sentenced to two years and four months' imprisonment at Snaresbrook Crown Court.

The case officer Detective Constable Paul Terrey of Trident said: "The sentencing of Nicholas-Wilks and Fraser is the culmination of months of hard work by officers from across the Met.

"This has led to 22 dangerous individuals being removed from the streets of east London and is a fantastic result which I hope demonstrates our ongoing commitment to tackling the scourge of drug dealing, the associated violence and anti-social behaviour which plagues local communities in certain areas."
