Two men charged after police seize drugs in neighbourhood crackdown
They say drugs can have a 'devastating impact on vulnerable people' and say they're committed to carrying out high-vis patrols to stem the production
Two men have been charged - and more than 150 wraps of crack cocaine and heroin have been seized - in Bristol.
It happened in the latest patrol by neighbourhood officers targeting drug dealing.
They say drugs can have a 'devastating impact on vulnerable people' and say they're committed to carrying out high-visibility patrols to stem the production.
Mohamed Madar, 20, of Easton, was charged with possession with intent to supply heroin and crack cocaine.
He entered a guilty plea when he appeared before Bristol Magistrates' Court on Wednesday 31 January.
He was remanded for sentencing at Bristol Crown Court on Thursday 29 February.
Aliyaan Hussain, 20, of Lawrence Hill was also charged with possession with intent to supply heroin and crack cocaine.
He appeared before Bristol Magistrates' Court on Wednesday 31 January.
He did not enter a plea and has been bailed to appear at Bristol Crown Court for a plea and trial preparation hearing on 6 March.
Neighbourhood Inspector Chris Green said: "We know that tackling drug dealing is a key priority for our communities and so we continue to carry out high visibility patrols targeting the supply of drugs.
“Drugs can have a devastating impact on vulnerable people and we are working closely with a range of organisations to prevent people being exploited by criminals.”
