Last updated 25th Apr 2021
Officers from the Sentinel team have charged a man in connection with drug offences in Ipswich.
A 35 year old man was arrested on Tuesday (20 April) in Martin Road on suspicion of drug offences and taken to Martlesham Police Investigation Centre for questioning.
Anthony White, from Stoke Hall Road in Ipswich, was subsequently charged with being concerned in the supply of crack cocaine and heroin, possession with intent to supply crack cocaine and heroin, and possession of cannabis.
A 17 year old female was also arrested and later released under investigation.
A quantity of suspected Class A drugs were recovered, along with mobile phones.
White appeared before Ipswich Magistrates Court yesterday, Thursday (22 April), where he pleaded guilty to the charges put to him, and was remanded in custody to await sentencing on a date to be confirmed.
Investigating Officer Richard Pennie from the Serious Crime Disruption Team (South) said:
"This is an excellent example of several specialist police teams working together efficiently and effectively to dismantle a Class A drugs business.
"I am especially grateful to my colleagues in the Sentinel team for their professionalism and expertise. Drug supply is a detestable offence which is incredibly exploitative and preys on the vulnerable. Suffolk police will not tolerate drug supply and will always deal robustly with such offences."
