Two 20-year-old men from Gloucester have been charged with being concerned in the supply of heroin and crack cocaine.

Elijah Manley, of Welsh Lane, Innsworth, and Pharell Lindsey, of Harvey Close, Podsmead have been charged this afternoon (Friday) with the class A drugs offences.

They have each been charged with one count of being concerned in the supply of heroin and one count of being concerned in the supply of crack cocaine.

Both Manley and Lindsey have been remanded in custody and are due to appear at Cheltenham Magistrates' Court tomorrow (Saturday).

The charges relate to a suspected drug deal in Gloucester yesterday (Thursday) with hundreds of pounds worth of class A drugs seized.

Sergeant Bobby George, of the Forest and Gloucester Neighbourhood Support Team, said: “We will not tolerate the dealing of drugs on the streets of Gloucestershire and we will continue to target this crime.”
