Man charged after crack cocaine and cannabis found

A man has been charged after we found crack cocaine and cannabis in Stoke-on-Trent.

Andrew Kendall, 32, from Bradeley, is due to appear at North Staffordshire Justice Centre today (22 August) charged with being concerned in the supply of crack cocaine and possessing cannabis.

It comes after we searched an address in Stoke-on-Trent yesterday (21 August).

We've launched a major crackdown on serious and organised crime in a new operation to target those responsible and protect those who are most vulnerable – called Operation Target.

Officers from the Regional Organised Crime Unit (ROCU), which is made up of officers from Staffordshire, West Midlands, Warwickshire and West Mercia set about the crackdown on serious organised crime earlier this year.
