Seven charged following County Lines drugs investigation
Five adults and two teenagers have been charged
Seven people have been charged with County Lines drug offences following a series of arrests carried out earlier this week.
The charges come as part of a joint investigation by West Midlands Police’s County Lines Taskforce and Warwickshire Police into the alleged supply of Class A drugs between Coventry and Stratford-upon-Avon.
Five adults and two teenagers have been charged with being concerned in the supply of crack cocaine and heroin.
Those charged are Jay Campbell, 21, Melanie Dart, 28, Bubacarr Darboe, 18, Issa Kassim, 21, and Leonie Griffin, 34. All five were remanded in custody and were due to appear before magistrates in Coventry on Wednesday, June 25.
Two teenage boys, aged 16 and 17, have also been charged with the same offence and were scheduled to appear in court on the same day.
Warwickshire Police said two women who were arrested as part of the investigation have been released on bail while enquiries continue.
The investigation remains ongoing.
