Two men have been charged with drugs offences after several raids in Basildon on Wednesday morning.

Three people were arrested, although one has now been released with a community resolution.

29 year old Gavon Smith, from London, and 40 year old Marc Dickson, of Scarletts in Basildon are both accused of being involved in the supply of heroin and crack cocaine.

Both men appeared at Southend Magistrates’ Court yesterday, pleading not guilty.

The pair will appear at Basildon Crown Court next month.
