Drug update for Greenhithe & Knockhall

Drug update for Greenhithe & Knockhall

I wanted to provide you with an update regarding Drug taking, which people around your area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the priority survey.

Good afternoon residents,

I thought I'd drop in to provide an update about drugs in Greenhithe & Knockhall. We were receiving repeat complaints about an address on Mounts Road smelling of cannabis.

With some very keen work from our colleagues on the Neighbourhood Task Force, PC Jack DAVOLL was able to secure a warrant which was executed today (03/09/2026).

A person was arrested and taken to custody, where items concerned in the supply of drugs were seized from within the property. The investigation will now continue in the back ground as led by CID.

This is a very good result and I am very happy with the hard work involved to take drugs off the street. I know this is an important issue to many of you and I hope this highlights that we take it seriously and will be robust in our approach to stop, deter, and prevent anyone who takes part in this criminality.

Thank you to you residents who told us this was happening as without your help this would not have been possible.

As always, if you need anything, let me know!

Kind regards,

PC Hodge, PC Daly, & PC Doherty

The illicit drugs market is big business, worth an estimated £9.4 billion a year and drug deaths have reached an all-time. Taking the health harms, costs of crime and wider impacts on society together, it is estimated the total costs of drugs to society are over £19 billion, which is more than twice the value of the market itself.
