A BARNSLEY man has been charged with drug offences after UK Border Force officers intercepted a package which contained around 6kg of suspected controlled drugs.
Mareks Dzelz, 33, of Nursery Street, was arrested and subsequently charged with conspiracy to import a class B drug, concerned in the supply of class B drugs, and concerned in the supply of class A drugs.
A team of Barnsley officers searched an address last Friday as the intercepted package was destined for the address.
A spokesperson for South Yorkshire Police: “Officers conducted a search, resulting in the seizure of a quantity of methadrone (known as M-CAT) and methadrone mixed with MDMA (also known as ecstasy).
“Other substances were also seized which are yet to be identified.”
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
