A group of suspected drug dealers have been charged following two house raids.

Three men and a woman were arrested after searches were carried out at two addresses in the Temple Hill area of Dartford last Wednesday (June 19).

Officers say they seized quantities of class A and B drugs and other items including money and several mobile phones.

Gibson Dalton-Shingleton, 27, of no fixed address; Matthew Belock, 48, of Knockhall Road, Greenhithe; Chay Dalton-Shingleton, 26, of Ruskin Grove, Dartford; and Susan Forrest, 48, also of Ruskin Grove, Dartford, were later charged with being concerned in the supply of cocaine, ecstasy, ketamine and cannabis.

Gibson and Chay Dalton-Shingleton were also charged with counts of possessing amphetamine, cocaine and cannabis with intent to supply.

All four suspects appeared before Sevenoaks Magistrates’ Court where Belock and Forrest were bailed to a hearing at Woolwich Crown Court on July 8.

The other two suspects were remanded in custody to appear at Maidstone Crown Court on July 15.
