A Hucknall man has been charged with being concerned in the supply of Class A and Class B drugs after a police raid uncovered suspected cocaine, a large amount of cash, and other high value items. Jaidean Thorne, 26, of St Mary’s View in Hucknall was given conditional bail when he appeared before Magistrates in Nottingham on Friday (31 May).
Thorne has been charged with being concerned in the supply of Class A and Class B drugs, possession with intent to supply Class A and Class B drugs, and possession of criminal property.
His co-accused, Jason Ramsden, of Dukes Meadow in Rainworth, had been charged with being concerned in the supply of drugs. Ramsden has been remanded in custody. Both men will appear before a judge at Nottingham Crown Court on 28 June.
The police raid on a home in St Mary’s View, on 29 May, was part of a continuing police crackdown on County Lines drug dealing. Police investigations after the Hucknall raid led officers to raid a second property, in Dukes Meadow, Rainworth, when further drugs, cash and equipment associated with drug dealing were recovered.
“These proactive police raids and subsequent charges follow lengthy and complex investigations into the supply of drugs between Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire”, DI Luke Todd of Nottinghamshire Police said. “Class A drugs continue to cause immeasurable harm in our communities and destroy lives, so our positive action to disrupt the illegal trade continues.”
