Two men have been charged after more than £30,000-worth of cocaine and cannabis was found during 'a number of' searches in Stoke-on-Trent.

Officers from Staffordshire Police stopped a car in Burslem on Friday 9 May which led to the searches of the addresses and the discovery of the drugs.

Nathan Minshall, 27, of Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, has been charged with conspiracy to supply a class A controlled drug (cocaine) and conspiracy to supply a class B controlled drug (cannabis).

David Chomyn, 27, of Newcastle-under-Lyme, has been charged with conspiracy to supply a class A controlled drug (cocaine), conspiracy to supply a class B controlled drug (cannabis) and driving a motor vehicle dangerously.

They both appeared at the North Staffordshire Justice Centre on Saturday (10 May) and were bailed ahead of their next appearance due at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court on 13 June.
