Pair charged after suspected heroin, cocaine and cannabis found in Calverton drug raids

Two suspects have appeared in court after police carried out a series of raids aiming to disrupt a drugs line operating in a village.

Officers executed warrants at three properties in Calverton on Wednesday (March 26) following an investigation into drugs supply in the area.

At one of the addresses, in George’s Lane, officers found suspected heroin, cocaine and cannabis as well as weighing scales and other equipment associated with the drugs trade.

They also arrested two people who were inside the property and seized a stun device, multiple mobile phones and cash.

Following the warrants, officers charged Hollie Howard, 34, and Floyd Sneap, 29, both of George’s Lane, with possession with intent to supply cocaine, heroin and cannabis, possession of criminal property and possession of a prohibited weapon.

Sneap has also been charged with possession of a firearm when prohibited for life.

Both suspects appeared at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court on Thursday (March 27) and will next appear at Nottingham Crown Court on April 24, 2025.

Sneap was remanded in custody and Howard was bailed.

Sergeant Alison Riley, of the Gedling neighbourhood policing team, said: “We are working hard to disrupt drug supply and associated criminality around Calverton.

“We believe these warrants, and the charges which have followed, are an important step and I hope residents welcome our robust response to these issues in the village.”
