Pair arrested for drug-related offences during an investigation by West Midlands Police county line officers.
Two men caught with a 'significant quantity' of drugs and cash in a police swoop on properties in Wolverhampton have pleaded guilty.
Ricardo Samuels, aged 33, of Hambledon Close, Claregate, and Michael Ferringo, aged 32, of Lowlands Avenue, in Tettenhall, admitted being concerned in the supply of sleeping tablets, ecstasy and coke on August 21 at a hearing at Wolverhampton Crown Court on Thursday.
They were arrested after West Midlands Police's County Lines Taskforce unit arrived armed with warrants at four city properties including in the Pendeford area last summer as part of the force’s Operation Target.
In addition to the Class A items seized officers also confiscated a quantity of the sleeping tablet Zopiclone which is a class C drug.
Judge John Edwards adjourned the matter until June when they will be sentenced. Both were remanded in custody.
