The intelligence-led operation by officers from the Middle Market Drugs Partnership - in co-operation with the UK Border Agency - led to the recovery of 10 kilogrammes of cocaine and the disruption of an organised criminal network.
On Tuesday afternoon a package from Colombia was delivered by private courier firm to an address in Elm Grove, Cricklewood NW2.
Two men at the address took delivery, and then left the address on pedal cycles with the package.
They cycled to a parked-up vehicle, in which they placed both the package and bicycles and drove away.
They travelled to a unit on a business park in Depot Road, Shepherds Bush W12. A short time later police entered and found the men in the process of decanting the substance from the package into separate plastic tubs. Both were wearing rubber gloves.
Two Colombian men were arrested and are now in custody at a central London police station Nearby a third man was also arrested and he too remains at the central London police station.

DI Steve Miles from the Middle Market Drugs Partnership said:
"We are determined to disrupt criminal networks on all levels.
"Through this investigation we have successfully effected the recovery of a significant amount of drugs, no doubt destined for the streets of our cities."
