Herts police’s County Lines Investigations Unit searched an address in Welwyn Garden City as part of an investigation into drug supply in the town.
Ashleigh McNeill, 37, of Birdcroft Road, Welwyn Garden City, was arrested and charged with the following offences
Possession with intent to supply cocaine
Possession with intent to cannabis resin
Possession of prohibited weapon, namely a stun gun
Possession of criminal property
He appeared at Hatfield remand court on Friday, September 12.
During the raid, officers recovered suspected class A and class B drugs, cash suspected to be the proceeds of crime and a suspected prohibited taser-like weapon.
Detective Inspector Grant Finnie, from the constabulary’s County Lines Investigations Unit, said: “This latest operation is part of our ongoing efforts to target and disrupt those involved in supplying class A drugs in these areas.
“The violence and exploitation often associated with drug dealing causes untold harm to our communities and often targets the vulnerable.
“Hertfordshire Constabulary works tirelessly to deliver against the government’s 10-year ‘from harm to hope’ plan, aiming to make communities safer by reducing crime.
“Part of that plan is to impact on people we suspect are operating as ‘middle market’ drug dealers supplying wholesale to those supplying drugs in our neighbourhoods. Those taking part in this type of criminality should expect a visit from us.”
