A man has been charged after we found heroin and a stun gun in Burton-on-Trent.

Kieran Goddard, 18, from Swadlincote, Derbyshire, is due to appear at North Staffordshire Justice Centre tomorrow (Thursday 14 September) charged with possessing a weapon for discharge, possession with intent to supply heroin and being concerned in the supply of crack cocaine and heroin.

It comes after we found wraps of suspected heroin, a mobile phone, cash and a stun gun during a search in Stapenhill yesterday (12 September).
