Two men have been charged in connection with supplying heroin and crack cocaine in an area of Birmingham.

West Midlands Police said its County Lines Taskforce had been investigating a drugs line known as the 'Dan Line' and carried out warrants in Erdington yesterday on Thursday, with two 18-year-old men arrested.

The force said that Tyricke McKenzie has been charged with being concerned in supply of heroin and crack cocaine between January and June, and possession of an offensive weapon, while Nijah White has been charged with being concerned in supply of heroin and crack cocaine between January and June.

Both were remanded in custody to appear before Birmingham Magistrates Court today. No details are yet available of their appearance.

“It's all part of Operation Target, our ongoing fight against serious and organised crime in the West Midlands.

“Officers work 24/7 to disrupt and arrest those involved in guns, drugs, money laundering and exploitation.”
