A man from Collier Row has been charged in connection with an investigation into the supply of Class A drugs in Clacton.

Jhazino Depass, 26, of Thameshill Avenue, has been charged with possession with intent to supply Class A drugs, being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs and possession of criminal property.

On April 21, Essex Police officers executed a planned operation by stopping a vehicle on the A120 which was heading towards the seaside town.

A subsequent search of a property in Chigwell uncovered a significant amount of what the force believes to be Class A drugs.

Around £1,000 in cash was also seized alongside a number of high-end items.

Depass appeared charged at Chelmsford Magistrates’ Court last Saturday (April 23).

No pleas were entered; the 26-year-old next appeared at Chelmsford Crown Court on May 23 where the case was adjourned.

The court has since confirmed it will be listed on June 1.

He has been remanded into custody until that date.
