Two men have been charged after police discovered hundreds of suspected drug wraps during an operation in the seaside town of Weston-super-Mare.
On Wednesday, March 18, Avon and Somerset Police found approximately 350 wraps believed to contain controlled substances, along with a sum of cash.
The suspects, Daiyaan Arif, 22, from Dudley, and Dean Harcourt, 47, from Birmingham, appeared at Taunton Magistrates’ Court on Thursday, March 19, in connection with the incident. Both men face two counts of possession with intent to supply class A drugs—specifically heroin and crack cocaine—and charges of possession of criminal property.

Neither Arif nor Harcourt entered a plea during their initial court appearance. They have been remanded in custody pending a further hearing at Bristol Crown Court, scheduled for Friday, April 24.
An Avon and Somerset Police spokesperson commented on the case: “Two men from outside our force area have been charged with possession with intent to supply class A drugs and possession of criminal property. Following the seizure in Weston-super-Mare, both men have been remanded in prison until their next court appearance.”
