Operation Condor targeted all 32 London boroughs as part of a massive crack-down on licensing issues affecting all our communities.

The 48 hour co-ordinated operation across London proactively targeted all aspects of licensing including pubs and clubs, unlicensed mini cabs, betting shops, driving license fraud the procurement of second hand goods, gambling establishments, benefit fraud, under age selling of alcohol, cigarettes, and knives and much more.

During the course of the 48 hour operation officers from Wandsworth Borough worked on Op Condor, using a range of tactics to bring unlicensed activity to account.

There were a total of 140 Officer deployments over the 2 days of the operation and officers worked with partner agencies to deliver nine separate activities:-
