We have been conducting surveillance on a suspected drug dealer known as Shadow. Recently, we obtained intelligence regarding his location, which led us to a flat in London. Upon executing a raid, we encountered a violent situation resulting in multiple casualties. During the operation, Shadow attempted to delete critical information from his computer to evade capture. However, we successfully apprehended him before he could cause significant damage. We have since recovered important files from his computer and would like you to analyze this data to determine his activities.
