Teenager and two men charged after class A drugs, cash and phones seized

A teenager and two men have been charged with drug offences after we seized drugs, cash and mobile phones in Cannock.

Joshua Sheperd-De-Four, 20, from Aston, Birmingham, has been charged with being concerned in the supply of heroin and cocaine and possession with intent to supply a controlled drug of class B (cannabis).

Hezekiah De-Four, 21, from Wolverhampton, has been charged with possession with intent to supply a controlled drug of class A (crack cocaine) and possession of a controlled drug of class A (heroin).

A 17-year-old, who cannot be named for legal reasons, has been charged with possession with intent to supply a controlled drug of class A (heroin) and possession with intent to supply a controlled drug of class A (crack cocaine).

It comes after officers from our major and organised crime proactive teams searched an address in Cannock in July 2022 and found crack cocaine, heroin, cannabis, cash and mobile phones.

All three are due to appear at Cannock Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday 16 July.

The activity follows our ongoing commitment to proactively target serious and organised crime across Staffordshire.

We launched Operation Target in May last year and have been working with local police forces to disrupt and pursue criminals who plan, organise and commit serious criminal offences across the county, including drug supply, illegal firearms, knife crime, human trafficking and sexual exploitation.
