Man charged after £22,000-worth of monkey dust and cannabis seized

A man has been charged with drug offences after we found an estimated £22,000-worth of monkey dust and cannabis in Stoke-on-Trent.

Corey Gilchrist, 31, of Hartshill, Stoke-on-Trent, has been charged with two counts possession with intent to supply a controlled drug of class B (monkey dust) and one count of possession with intent to supply a controlled drug of class B (cannabis).

It comes after we seized the drugs in separate searches at an address near Hartshill Road, Stoke-on-Trent, between March and July this year.

Gilchrist has been remanded in custody ahead of his next appearance at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court on 9 September.
