A man has been charged with drug dealing after two police raids in Ipswich.

Benjamin Tigges, 24 of Belstead Avenue, Ipswich, is set to appear before Ipswich Crown Court on April 22.

This followed an appearance at Suffolk Magistrates’ Court today, with Tigges accused of possession with intent to supply heroin, cocaine and cannabis as well as being concerned in their supply.

He had also been arrested on suspicion of possession of counterfeit currency and profiting or concealing knowledge of the proceeds of crime.

Yesterday, multiple teams from Suffolk Police executed warrants at two addresses, in Belstead Avenue and Wilberforce Street.

During these raids, a large amount of both class A and class B drugs, plus a lot of cash, were seized.

Tigges was arrested at a property in Belstead Avenue and taken to Martlesham Police Investigation Centre.

He has been remanded in custody between his court appearances.

In addition, a 23-year-old woman was arrested at Wilberforce Street on suspicion of possession with intent to supply class A drugs and possession of class B or class C drug.

She was bailed and is set to return to police on May 12.
