A Rolls Royce, Aston Martin and 23kg of amphetamines worth £125,000 have been seized by police on raids in Tooting and Warlingham.

As well as the clutch of luxury cars - including the top-of-the-range Aston Martin Vanquish worth £170,000 - Operation Larch detectives from Surrey Police seized a large quantity of cannabis resin last Wednesday.

Detective Inspector Peter Fulton said the raids would put a major dent in drug supply in Surrey.

"Individuals who get involved in the supply of controlled drugs in Surrey can expect to be targeted and brought to justice," he said.

"Operation Larch is part of Surrey Police's anti-drugs activity and should reassure the public of our determination to remove drugs from our streets."

Five people were arrested, including a youth.

Stephen Voller, 55, Ian Nesbitt, 46, David Warwick, 34, all from Tooting, and Sean Lynch, 46, from Warlingham, appeared at Staines Magistrates' Court last Friday charged with conspiracy to supply controlled drugs.

All four were remanded in custody to appear at Kingston Crown Court on December 10.

A youth arrested during the raids was bailed without charge.
