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