A man has been charged after police seized 2kg of cocaine an drug paraphernalia in Hastings.
Officers responded to community intelligence and raided a property in Wilmington Road on Friday, April 21.
28-year-old, Thomas Fear, is accused of supplying the class A drug and has been remanded in custody ahead of a court appearance next month.
Chief Inspector Jay Mendis-Gunasekera, District Commander for Hastings and Rother, said: “This is a significant amount of illegal, dangerous substance taken off the streets, which would otherwise have gone on to cause great harm in our communities.
“While Class A drugs are harmful substances in themselves, their trade and use fuels a whole array of wider crime that impacts every corner of our society.
“The use and supply of illegal drugs will not be tolerated in Hastings, Rother or Sussex as a whole, and we will continue to react proactively to any reports of such behaviour.”
