THREE men, two from Kent, have appeared in court accused of planning to supply more than £600,000 worth of drugs, including heroin, cocaine and ecstacy.

Stephen William Howard, 50, from Gravesend, and Anthony John Smith, 59, of no fixed home, were arrested by police on Sunday in a seizure of drugs and £100,000 in cash at Wrotham.

A third man arrested in Wrotham, Rod Budding, 39, from Frenchay near Bristol, has been charged with the same offence.

All three were remanded in custody by Bristol magistrates until a hearing at Bristol Crown Court next Tuesday (july13).

They have not yet entered pleas to the charge of conspiracy to supply class A drugs.

The arrests followed a long-term operation by Avon and Somerset Constabulary together with other agencies, including Kent Police.
