South Yorkshire Police find two 'Kinder Eggs' filled with Class A drugs
A man in Doncaster has been charged with four drug-related offences
A suspected drug dealer has been arrested during an operation targeting the illegal supply and use of harmful and illegal drugs in an area of Doncaster.
Following reports of drug use and drug dealing on the St James Estate in Balby a day of activity was carried out last Thursday (17 July). Plain-clothed and uniformed officers were alerted to the behaviour of a man acting suspiciously in the area.
They carried out a stop and search under Section 23 of the Misuse of Drugs Act, resulting in the discovery of two Kinder Eggs containing a white rock substance and brown powder, suspected to be crack cocaine and heroin.
He was also found in possession of £170 in cash.
The man was arrested and has since been charged with four drug-related offences.
A prolific shoplifter also found himself back behind bars after being arrested during the operation.
Daryl Coleman, of College Road, Doncaster, stole 4 video doorbells from a store last Thursday morning, with the 27-year-old arrested by officers less than an hour after the reported theft.
He appeared before Doncaster Magistrates' Court the following day (18 July) charged with the offence of theft and was jailed for 28 days.
The operation also saw two people reported on summons for alleged drug offences, with five stop and searches in total and one vehicle seized for having no insurance.
