The Met Police is holding one of it's biggest ever days of action targeting organised crime and gangs in London.

Officers are focusing on criminals who make money from crime.

The operation is the largest of its kind ever put together by the Metropolitan Police to tackle criminals specifically by investigating their financial activities.

360 separate operations are scheduled throughout the day with officers from the 32 London boroughs and the MPS's Specialist and Economic Crime Command dedicated to catching a variety of criminals.

Drug dealing, money laundering, rogue landlords and handling stolen goods are all being targeted as part of the crack-down.
