A 24-year-old man has been charged with drug offences after officers found 107 wraps of crack cocaine and heroin in a bag.

Northamptonshire Police say they stopped Brian Gambamba of Boleyn Road, Islington, along with a 16-year-old boy, in Northampton on August 20.

They allege the 24-year-old was searched and a total of 107 wraps of class A drugs were allegedly discovered in a bag.

He was arrested and subsequently charged with two counts of possession with intent to supply Class A drugs – crack cocaine and heroin – and obstruction of a police officer.

The 16-year-old boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was also arrested and subsequently charged with possession of a knife blade and pointed article in a public place.

Gambamba appeared before Northampton Magistrates’ Court on August 22, where he was remanded in custody until his next appearance at Northampton Crown Court on October 3.

The teenage boy is due to appear before Wellingborough Youth Court on Tuesday (September 5).
