The Stratov Metal Company shootout occurred at the Stratov Metal Company warehouse in the Lambeth section of London, England in 2004. A team of SO19 policemen raided Russian Mafia member Levi Stratov's warehouse with the goal of arresting Stratov, and they were forced to engage in a massive shootout with the mobsters. They killed scores of them across the scrapyard before capturing Stratov. Stratov was briefly interrogated about the disappearance of journalist Jackie Philips before his bosses pulled strings to get him released, upon which he was tailed to a construction site, leading to the Finsbury construction site shootout.
