A man has been charged after suspected drugs totaling £14,000 were found at an address.

A warrant was carried out in London on Thursday February 15.

During the search, they seized suspected cocaine worth an estimated £14,000, split into more than 300 individual street deal sizes.

Samuel Menseh, 26, of Homerton High Street, London, was arrested later that same day in Stratford following further enquiries.

He appeared at Chelmsford Magistrates’ Court on Friday 16 February and was remanded in custody until a further hearing at Chelmsford Crown Court on Friday 15 March.

Inspector Mark Jones, of our serious violence unit, said: "These charges follow substantial work by a dedicated investigative team into a drug line bringing harmful substances to the streets of Harlow.

“We are well equipped in Essex to tackle the harm caused by county lines operations – drug dealers are never safe to operate in this county.”
