Man in court after drugs raid in New Basford

A man has appeared in court after police seized Class A drugs and suspected drugs money when they executed a warrant.

Officers from the City Central neighbourhood policing team raided a flat in Radford Road, New Basford, on Saturday (18 January).

They found cocaine, crack cocaine, cannabis and more than £1,000 in cash.

A man was arrested after being detained inside the property.

Jake Chapman, aged 25, of Radford Road, New Basford, has been charged with two counts of possession with intent to supply Class A drugs and one count of possession with intent to supply Class B drugs.

He appeared at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court on Monday (20 January) and was remanded in custody. He is next due to appear at Nottingham Crown Court on 17 February. 

Inspector Liz Gaskin, of Nottinghamshire Police, said:

“Officers carried out this warrant as we continue our efforts to disrupt the illegal drugs trade.

“It is always good news when positive police action like this results in the seizure and destruction of Class A and B drugs.

“These substances continue to destroy lives and frequently have a knock-on effect leading to further criminality and violence in our communities.

“We are constantly working behind the scenes to gather information about those who may be involved in drug supply, and we remain committed to continuing our proactive work to target offenders and bring them to justice.”
