A 16-year-old boy is due to appear in court next month after a multi-agency day of action that took place in Lowestoft.

The boy from Norwich, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was charged with two counts of possessing with intent to supply a Class A drug, being concerned in the supply of crack cocaine and being concerned in the supply of heroin. He is due to appear at Lowestoft Youth Court on October 1.

The intelligence led day of action was carried out on August 27 as a part of a series of policing operations that Suffolk Police is conducting throughout the year aimed at cracking down on criminal activity in the county.

The boy was arrested along with three men, during the day of action, after their vehicle was stopped and drugs were discovered inside the vehicle.

The three Colchester men - Kian Rulten, 18, Ryan Ellis, 19, and Shaun Ellis, 21 - appeared at Bury St Edmunds Magistrates Court on August 19 charged with drug offences.

They were remanded in custody until November 14 to appear at Crown Court.
