Thirty charges have been brought in two days against suspected dealers in the latest blitz against drugs.

As many as 13 arrests were made on Tuesday and Wednesday (February 25 and 26) in an operation between Kent Police and British Transport Police.

Drugs - including those believed to be heroin, cocaine, crack cocaine and MDMA - were seized by officers across Swale, Medway and Gravesham.

Items seized by police during the pre-planned warrants also included imitation firearms and cannabis thought to be worth in the region of £22,000.

On Wednesday, 60 deal-sized bags of cocaine and four rocks of crack cocaine were seized from an address in Gravesham.

Officers arrested a man at the scene. Six drugs-related charges were later brought against Alan Niango, of High Street, Gravesend.

Niango, 30, appeared before Sevenoaks Magistrates’ Court and was remanded in custody to next appear at Woolwich Crown Court.

The same day, police secured 17 charges in an unrelated case after officers executed warrants at five properties. Officers seized cocaine, two imitation weapons, a large quantity of cannabis, cash, mobile phones and various drugs-related paraphernalia.

Ajet Cena, 36, Hassan Cerjpa, 25, Reece Rahmdeen, 27, Sofaine Moulay, 32, and Deborah Baker, 46, were all charged with offences relating to the supply of drugs.

Cerjpa, of Regal Walk in Bexleyheath, London, was also charged with possession of criminal property.

Cena, of Burdett Close, Sidcup in London; Rahmdeen, of Windmill Close, Gravesend; Baker, of Copenhagen Road, Gillingham; Moulay, of Park Place, Gravesend; and Cerjpa were all due to appear before Medway Magistrates’ Court today (February 28).

Also on Wednesday, officers made arrests near Gillingham town centre.

Around 70 wraps were seized and a 17-year-old boy from Plumstead, London, was charged with possession with intent to supply crack cocaine.

Kelly Aghudo, 18, of Latham Road, Bexleyheath, was charged with being concerned in the supply of class A drugs. Both suspects were due to appear before Medway Magistrates’ Court today.

An investigation into the supply of class A drugs on the Isle of Sheppey led to an arrest on Tuesday and to the recovery of cocaine and cannabis.

Lewis Young, 41, was later charged with being concerned in the supply of heroin and crack cocaine, and possession with intent to supply a class A and class B drug.

Young, of Falcon Gardens, Sheerness, was remanded in custody at court and is next due to appear before Maidstone Crown Court on March 24.
