Default Heading H1
A man has been remanded in custody following a significant drug bust in Worthing.
On Tuesday 9 July, officers from Sussex Police’s Tactical Firearms Unit stopped a Vauxhall Insignia in Grafton Road as part of a proactive operation. A search of a nearby address was then carried out by the Tactical Enforcement Unit, uncovering more than 350 wraps of suspected Class A drugs, believed to be crack cocaine and heroin.
As a result, 25-year-old Tyreek Rodney, of Grafton Road, was arrested and charged with:
Possession of Class A drugs (crack cocaine and heroin) with intent to supply
Acquiring, using or possessing criminal property
Possession of a Class B drug
He has been remanded in custody and is due to appear before Lewes Crown Court next month.
Inspector Robert Hart said:
“Our officers safely arrested a suspect in a vehicle, and further searches were completed at an address in Grafton Road. This shows our determination to disrupt the supply of Class A drugs which cause so much harm in our communities.”
The investigation is ongoing.
