POLICE have charged a 43-year-old man with planning to supply more than £1,000 worth of drugs including ecstasy tablets and cocaine.

The man, who was arrested by patrol officers during a routine check in Hilperton, answered police bail on Sunday.

Detectives charged the man with three counts of possession with intent to supply Class A and B drugs.

Uniformed officers investigating reports of shed thefts in the Trowbridge village made the arrest on July 9.

The man, from Bath, is accused of having 48 ecstasy tablets, nine wraps of cannabis and three wraps of cocaine in his possession.

Officers from Avon and Somerset Constabulary raided an address in Bath following the arrest and seized a quantity of ecstasy tablets.

The man was due to appear before Trowbridge magistrates yesterday.
