Wilson Chowdhry PC Saeed, PC Saleem and Mr Ryan Duggan with the bags of cannabis. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Today we (BPCA) received a call at our community centre from concerned resident of Clementswood Ward, Ryan Duggan, who expressed great anxiety at 16 bags of Cannabis that had been dumped before a property on Gordon Road, Ilford. Mr Duggan was concerned about the full bags of Cannabis that were being collected by a number of vehicles and individuals, who seemed to be opportunists rather then a coordinated crime syndicate. Mr Duggan was concerned about the availability of the bags to children and young people and he asked what should be done to safeguard vulnerable people, and prevent an increase in local crime. Our Chairman Wilson Chowdhry, asked Mr Duggan to bring any remaining bags to our offices, which he duly did. On receipt of the bags Mr Chowdhry immediately called the local Police and cycled across to the address where the cannabis had been found, to take images of other evidence of the crime (see below). A large police van with two officers arrived within 20 minutes. The attending officers were flabbergasted at the amount of cannabis that had been left on the open streets. They advised Mr Chowdhry and Mr Duggan that the street value of Cannabis, is around £50 per gram and that the value of the two bags was worth somewhere in the region of £10,000. They praised the BPCA for their work with local people that was bridging the gap between community and local police.
