The police operation
MORE than 120 cops raided homes in Vange, Basildon, Laindon and Pitsea to smash a drugs gang, known as the Bush Boys.
The gang, from North London, are believed to have moved into several homes across Basildon to sell class A drugs, such as cocaine, to locals.
Yesterday afternoon, swarms of officers carried out the series of co-ordinated raids.
