Eastbourne man charged in connection with supply of class A drugs

Two men have been charged in connection with the supply of cocaine after drugs with an estimated street value of up to £8,000 were seized by officers from the property in Lamberhurst, said Kent Police.

Officers said the drugs were recovered along with almost £1,400 in cash after a search warrant was executed by the Tunbridge Wells Community Policing Team at an address in Bartley Mill Road.

Police said they entered the property during the early hours of November 13 and a further £2,020 and drugs were recovered from a linked address in Eastbourne. Two BMWs were also impounded as part of the investigation.

Hussain Alwari from Ashford Road, Eastbourne, and 23-year-old Cosmo Budd of Heathfield Road in Etchingham were arrested and later charged with possessing cocaine with intent to supply and with being concerned in the supply of cocaine, said Kent Police.

Police said the pair appeared before Medway Magistrates’ Court last week (November 14) and both men were remanded in custody and will next appear at Maidstone Crown Court on December 14.
