A man has been charged with drug supply offences after search warrants were carried out at two addresses in Northeast Somerset.
Officers seized a quantity of what is suspected to be heroin, cocaine, ketamine and cash after searches at properties in Frederick Avenue, in Peasedown St John, and Brookside, in Paulton.
Gary Browne, 41, of Brookside, Paulton, was charged with intent to supply class A drugs on Wednesday 8 October.
Browne appeared at Bath Magistrates’ Court on Thursday 9 October and has been remanded into custody until a pre-trial and plea hearing at Bristol Crown Court on Tuesday 11 November.
Suspected counterfeit goods and vehicles were also seized from the address in Peasedown-St-John.
Bath and North East Somerset neighbourhood Inspector Stuart King KPM said: “These warrants reflect the excellent proactive work being carried out by officers from the neighbourhood policing teams and have resulted in large quantities of drugs being taken off our streets.
"This will help make the communities of Bath and North East Somerset safer.
“We will continue to pursue individuals who bring harm and misery to their local communities, and I would urge the public to assist us by reporting any suspected criminal behaviour to us.”
