The joint council and police operation, dubbed Operation Cubo, took place in Barking and Dagenham last month and focused on alleged parking fraud and vehicle-related offences.
A total of 13 vehicles were removed, and multiple permits cancelled during the day-long operation.
Councillor Syed Ghani, cabinet member for enforcement and community safety, said: “This operation shows the strength of partnership working in tackling fraud and keeping our streets safe.
“From permit abuse to Blue Badge misuse and even scams targeting residents, we’re taking firm action to protect our communities.
“I want to thank our enforcement teams and the police for their continued dedication to making Barking and Dagenham a safer place to live, work and shop.”

The operation resulted in 25 penalty charge notices (PCN) being issued, including to three oversized vehicles using invalid permits.
Seven vehicles were removed for fraudulent permit use, including cases involving three or more unpaid PCNs.
A further four vehicles were towed for offences such as insurance evasion and false DVLA paperwork.
More than 50 Blue Badges were inspected, with several found to be counterfeit or misused and subsequently confiscated.
Officers also identified and removed six fraudulent QR code stickers used to scam residents into paying for parking, the council said.
Two uninsured vehicles were seized and towed by the street duties team.
Two arrests were made, including one for a wanted individual linked to a drink-driving offence.
The operation was informed by intelligence from resident reports, frontline staff, and proactive patrols in known hotspot areas.

“By targeting vehicle offences, permit fraud and unsafe practices, we are protecting residents and keeping our streets safe.
“We will continue to act on intelligence and enforce the law to maintain public safety across Barking and Dagenham.”
