Local knowledge by the SNT has indicated that drug dealers, who appear to originate from ISLINGTON, loiter throughout the day outside the WENLOCK CAFE. They then appear to be involved in drug transactions in the surrounding areas. It is not known if this is Class A or Class B drugs which are involved. Information received has also indicated that gang members loiter at night, predominately around the BLETCHLEY COURT N1 vicinity. Information has also indicated that residents are finding the area intimidating late at night due to the presence of males loitering around in the area.
