A man and two boys from Coventry have been charged with dealing drugs after a raid at a home in Cheltenham.

The trio were arrested on Monday (April 1) as officers from Gloucestershire Constabulary's crime operations team executed a warrant at an address in the Pittville area of the town.

Drugs and a large amount of cash were also recovered from the property.

Abdirizak Hussein, 19, of Foleshill Road, Foleshill, was later charged with possession with intent to supply heroin, possession with intent to supply cocaine and acquiring or using criminal property.

A 15-year-old boy and a 16-year-old boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, were also charged with possession with intent to supply heroin and possession with intent to supply cocaine.

All three appeared at Cheltenham Magistrates' Court on Tuesday (April 2) when the case was sent up to Gloucester Crown Court for a hearing on May 3.

Hussein and the 15-year-old were remanded in custody until that date, while the 16-year-old was granted bail.
