A man has been remanded in custody after appearing in court accused of possession cannabis with the intent to supply and making threats to kill.

Ryan Doe, 26, appeared before magistrates in Medway where he was also charged with possessing an offensive weapon.

Doe, of Grove Road, Chatham, was charged following an investigation involving Kent Police’s Operation Jupiter team, recently set up to deter organised crime gangs from operating in the area.

The case against Doe was sent to the crown court to be dealt with.

He is next due to appear at Maidstone Crown Court, on Friday, November 27.
