It sounds loverly.
Knife crime and muggings rise but police hail stop-and-search | News
A drugs gang led by a convicted robber which made £100,000 a month was smashed after police mounted a “Wire-style” investigation involving covert surveillance and officers posing as addicts.
The Stick 'Em Up Kids, which controlled the flow of cocaine and heroin in Wandsworth, was run by Musa Mohammed, on licence after being released from a four-year jail term. Mohammed, who goes by the street name Mikey, has 10 previous convictions for charges including armed robbery and drugs offences, and was only released in February last year — two months before the investigation started. His gang is also suspected in connection with a murder of a teenager in 2006.
In a four-month period, five undercover officers made 32 deals. They became so trusted that dealers would contact them to let them know “we've got good stuff”, Kingston crown court heard. When police arrested the gang in August and seized their phones they found that more than 25,000 calls regarding drugs had been made during the time they were under surveillance.
The gang paid £40 a day to runners as young as 15 for their services. A total of 13 youths pleaded guilty to dealing drugs between May and August last year.
Mohammed, 23, was due to be sentenced for conspiracy to supply Class A drugs today.
His gang members were given sentences ranging from five years to 24 months.

Isn't that the area where that gang broke into a house, beat up the husband, raped his pregnant wife and stole his S5?"See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment

To play devil's advocate for a moment, Sas is right about Wandsworth being rather large and covering a wide demographic. Wikipedia says it's population is about 284,000 which is slightly more than Dim's very own Newcastle. I've lived in various parts of Wandsworth for about 5 years now and never had any trouble.Comment
