A MAN has been charged and is due to appear before magistrates following a series of drugs raids in the North.
The 34-year-old, from Sunderland, was arrested on Wednesday in an operation coordinated by the drugs and organised crime squad of West Yorkshire Police.
He has been charged with possession of class A and B drugs, believed to be amphetamine and cannabis, and will appear before Sunderland magistrates on Friday.
Police have made public details of further arrests as part of the operation which targeted addresses across the North of England.
Fourteen arrests were made, including that of a 31-year-old woman, arrested in the Doxford Park area of Sunderland, and a 49-year-old man from Newcastle.
Both have been bailed by police pending further inquiries.
