British police raided what they described as a Rastafarian temple in south London yesterday and arrested 23 people in an anti-drugs and firearms operation.

The Metropolitan police said the premises, which included a Rastafarian temple once visited by reggae musician Bob Marley, are suspected of being used for ?high level? criminality.

?This operation is a joint initiative by police and the local authority aimed at protecting the communities in south London from serious criminality,? a statement said.

The premises, where a Rastafarian community has lived since at least the early 1970s, have been raided in the past to evict squatters. Police said Thursday?s operation was on-going and provided no further details.
