A man has been charged after officers found heroin and cocaine in Norton Canes.
Stephen Lockley, 38, from Liverpool, has been charged with possession with intent to supply heroin and cocaine.
It comes after officers from the Regional and Organised Crime Unit (ROCU) stopped a white transit van at Norton Canes Services on the M6 Toll, just after 1pm, on Tuesday (23 July). They found around 24kg of heroin and 5kg of cocaine inside.
Lockley is due to appear at the North Staffordshire Justice Centre today (Thursday 25 July).
We’re continuing to proactively target serious and organised crime across Staffordshire, working with ROCU as part of Operation Target.
More than 1,000 people have been arrested on suspicion of drug and weapon offences in the county since the crackdown was launched last May: https://www.staffordshire.police.uk/news/staffordshire/news/2024/july/operation-target-more-than-1000-arrests-for-drugs-and-weapons-offences/
