There are rather a lot of police currently at The London in the bus interchange.

And quite a lot of media standing around as well.

We’ll update you when we know more.

UPDATE: This statement from ACT Policing:

Police have executed a search warrant at a business premises on London Circuit. Further information to follow at the conclusion of the search.

Further Update: The Chief Police Officer has confirmed via Twitter that they’re looking for drugs.

Ace Ventura should get a call after they find half joint on the floor and nothing more.

We’ve eaten there once, I thought it was a bit weird too, and haven’t been back. Halfway through our meal, my husband, baby daughter and myself (sitting at a table for 4) suddenly had another couple seated next to us, with us, at the same table (literally bumping elbows) – even though there were many other tables free. We hurredly finished our food and left, it was very odd.

There are a lot of bars run honestly. But there are a lot of businesses in this town which one wonders about.

Well the big nightclubs – Academy, Mooseheads, ect are probably run fairly honestly, the questionable level of adherence to responsible service of alcohol aside. It’s obvious how they’re turning a profit.

“Counter Terrorism Team” WTF?

Nice of you to skip straight past the “Organised Crime and” part of the name.

To be fair, it could easily be misconstrued as refering to two separate teams.

As explained here http://the-riotact.com/police-statement-on-the-london-raid/57708, they have quietly removed the references to who actually attended!

Are there any restaurants, clubs and bars in Canberra that are NOT owned and run by [alleged] drug dealers?

+1, Amen to that

There was always something a bit odd about the high number of security camera’s in the London…

Bet the police find the tapes useful. Or blank.

sounds like the police have already drawn a big blank, high vis daytime raid, tip off the Canberra times.

No-one charged and a couple of computers seized, somebody has egg on their face.

We are a small enough town that the people that deal with organised crime, and the people who counter terrorism, are the same people. So if someone if raided as part of an organised crime investigation, it is done by the Organised Crime and Counter Terrorism Team.
