A total of 57 arrests were also made during the operation focused on tackling crime and anti-social behaviour in south-west London.
Officers in Merton carried out targeted action focused on improving road safety, disrupting criminal networks and addressing local concerns.
The work was part of Operation Frostwatch, which ran from Monday, November 17, to Wednesday, December 24.
Sergeant Matthew Bower, from the Met’s local policing team in Merton, said: “This operation demonstrates the Met’s commitment to tackling crime and keeping communities safe.
“By combining enforcement, intelligence and partnership working, we’ve delivered significant results and sent a clear message to those engaging in criminality.
“One of the key priorities was tackling the criminal and anti-social use of e-bikes and high-powered scooters, a major concern for local residents and often linked to offences such as street robberies and drug supply.
“Seizing 37 e-bikes was one of the operation’s standout successes.
“Communities have told us they value highly visible, locally focused policing, and that’s exactly what we will continue to provide in Merton as we go after the offenders causing the most harm.”
The operation resulted in 57 arrests for a range of offences, the location of 15 wanted people including a wanted sex offender, the seizure of 37 e-bikes and scooters and the recovery of seven knives and one firearm.
Police also secured a closure order for an address in Pollards Hill linked to gang activity.
The order will help reduce crime and anti-social behaviour in the area and disrupt tensions between local gangs.
The Met said it is prioritising precise community crime-fighting by keeping officers visible and accessible, strengthening partnerships with local communities and expanding the use of technology to target the most harmful offenders.
