Law enforcement officers apprehended cash and nitrous oxide canisters following the observation of a vehicle considered suspicious on Bullhead Road in Borehamwood. The stop, which occurred on Monday, 27 April, led to officers conducting searches. These searches uncovered £3,240 in cash and six Smartwhips filled with nitrous oxide. As a result of the discovery, two individuals have been formally charged with possession offences. Nitrous oxide was reclassified as a Class C controlled drug in November 2023, with penalties for possession including potential fines or imprisonment for up to two years.

In an unrelated incident on Tuesday, 28 April, a motorist was stopped by police on the A1 Barnet-by-Pass. The driver, a woman in her 30s, was subjected to a search and a roadside drugs test. Officers found the individual to be in possession of cannabis. She was subsequently arrested on suspicion of drug driving and has been released on bail pending the results of toxicology examinations. A community resolution was issued for the cannabis possession. The vehicle was also impounded due to a lack of valid insurance and an expired MOT certificate.
