County lines investigators have charged two men in connection with suspected class A drug dealing in Swale. In August 2024, officers identified a mobile phone reportedly being used to supply cocaine in the Sheerness area.
This led to three search warrants being executed on the Isle of Sheppey on Wednesday, 2 October 2024. During the searches, police seized multiple wraps of suspected cocaine, cannabis, cash, mobile phones, and a knuckleduster. Two suspects were arrested and taken into custody.
Naderul Islam, 25 from Minster-on-Sea, and Frank Pryce, 31, of Royal Road, Sheerness, were charged with being concerned in the supply of class A drugs and possessing criminal property (the seized cash). Mr Islam was also charged with possession of a prohibited weapon, while Mr Pryce faced additional charges of being concerned in the supply of class B drugs, possessing cocaine with intent to supply, and possessing cannabis.
Both men were remanded in custody to appear before Medway Magistrates’ Court on Thursday, 3 October.
