Man charged following dark web drugs investigation

A man has been charged with drug and money laundering offences following an investigation into the sale of drugs on the dark web.

Andrew Percival, 34, from Featherstone, has been charged with being concerned in the supply of benzodiazepine and cannabis, offering to supply a psychoactive substance (clobromazolam), exporting a psychoactive substance (clobromazolam), possession with intent to supply a class B drug (cannabis), possession with intent to supply class C drugs (benzodiazepine and diazepam), possession with intent to supply a psychoactive substance (clobromazolam), and money laundering (concealing/disguising/converting/transferring/removing property).

It comes after officers searched an address in Featherstone, in February, last year. They found class B and class C drugs worth around £10,000.

A package containing clobromazolam (phenazolam) was also recovered at Heathrow Airport.

Percival is due to appear at Dudley Magistrates’ Court on 2 January.
