Man, 35, charged with drugs offences following warrant in Farnborough

I wanted to provide you with an update regarding Drugs and related issues, which people around your area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the priority survey.

A man has been charged with drugs offences after officers carried out a warrant in Farnborough.

Jordon Reid, 35, of Church Circle, Farnborough, has been charged with:

- Possession with intent to supply a controlled drug of Class A
- Acquire / use / possess criminal property
- Possession of a controlled drug of Class B

It comes after officers located suspected Class A drugs, Class B drugs and more than £3,000 in cash when they attended a property in Church Circle on Friday 4 September.

Reid appeared at Southampton Magistrates Court on Saturday 5 September and was remanded into custody. He is due to appear at Winchester Crown Court on Wednesday 7 October.

The illicit drugs market is big business, worth an estimated £9.4 billion a year and drug deaths have reached an all-time. Taking the health harms, costs of crime and wider impacts on society together, it is estimated the total costs of drugs to society are over £19 billion, which is more than twice the value of the market itself.

If you are adversely affected by antisocial behaviour in your community associated with drug use, The Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 outlines the flexible tools and powers that the police, local authorities and other local agencies can use to respond quickly and effectively to antisocial behaviour.
