A MAN has been charged with possession of drugs with intent to supply after a raid in Bath.

Two other people were also arrested after police executed a drugs warrant at a flat in the Abbey Churchyard on Wednesday (March 12) after receiving information from members of the public.

Officers arrested three people and seized a significant quantity of ketamine, cash, mobile phones and drug paraphernalia, an Avon & Somerset Police spokesperson said.

Chinua Thompson, 33, of Abbey Churchyard, was subsequently charged with possession with intent to supply a class B drug and possession of criminal property.

He appeared at Bristol Magistrates’ Court on Thursday (March 13) where he was remanded into custody to appear at Bristol Crown Court on April 8.

The other two people, a man in his 40s and a woman in her 50s, who were arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of a class A drug, were released on conditional police bail while enquiries continue.

Neighbourhood Sergeant Freddie Vicker-Craddock said: “Illegal drugs cause incredible harm to our communities, and their supply involves the exploitation of some of the most vulnerable members of society.

“We are committed to identifying those responsible for their supply and we would encourage anyone who witnesses suspicious activity in their area to report it to us.

“Information from the public is crucial and we will act on it whenever possible, as was the case here.”
