Man charged after £7.2m worth of heroin found in Hanwell flat

A 34-year-old man from South Oxhey in Hertfordshire has been charged after 70 kilos of heroin with an estimated street value of £7.2 million was seized following a search of a flat in Trumpers Way, Hanwell.

Bernard Narh was arrested by officers from the Organised Crime Partnership – a unit of the National Crime Agency and Metropolitan Police – on Tuesday (28 January 2025).

He was charged with drugs possession with intent to supply, after officers discovered more than 140 blocks of heroin weighing 70 kilos in a flat in Trumpers Way, Hanwell.

Narh was also charged with driving a vehicle while disqualified and without insurance.

He appeared at Uxbridge Magistrates’ Court yesterday (30 January 2025), where he was remanded into custody before his next appearance at Isleworth Crown Court on 27 February 2025

Andrew Tickner, NCA operations manager from the Organised Crime Partnership, said: “We have successfully removed a large amount of dangerous drugs from the streets, depriving a crime group of profits that would have been ploughed back into further offending.”

Mr Tickner added: “The NCA and Metropolitan Police continue to work in partnership to take action against individuals suspected of involvement in drug trafficking which has a corrosive impact on communities in London.”
