Police have seized drugs worth over £160,000 at a house in Burton Green, near Kenilworth, after arresting a man at Birmingham Airport.
As part of a two-day operation targeting organised crime, officers from Warwickshire Police Serious and Organised Crime Unit intercepted a man as he prepared to leave the country on a flight from the airport last Wednesday. After the arrest police obtained and executed warrants at an address in Burton Green and seized more than 3.8 kg of cocaine and a quantity of cannabis.
As a result of the drugs find, a 32 year old man appeared at Stratford Magistrates Court on Friday charged with possession of cocaine with intent to supply, attempting to export cocaine and cannabis, and money laundering. The man was remanded in custody and will appear before magistrates again on March 19.
