A man has been charged after police seized more than ten kilos of drugs and cash in Hastings.

Police arrested and searched a suspect in Bohemia Road on Tuesday, January 31st.

Andrew Walker, of no fixed address, is accused of multiple drug supply offences.

The 41-year-old appeared at Lewes Crown Court this week where he was remanded in custody.

His next appearance will be next month, March 2, for a plea and trial preparation hearing.

Prevention Inspector Aidan Cornwall said: “Sussex Police is committed to protecting the people of Sussex from the harm that drugs can cause.

“A big part of this is working with our partners and other external agencies to stop the supply of drugs into our communities, while trying to help vulnerable users, offering support, as well as enforcement of the law.

“You can report information on drugs to us on the Sussex Police website.

"Alternatively, you can report anonymously through the independent charity Crimestoppers online at www.crimestoppers-uk.org, or by calling 0800 555 111.”
