Two people have been charged with drug offences as part of a crackdown on suspected county line dealers in Medway.

The man and woman were charged with being concerned in the supply of heroin and crack cocaine.

Chahnah Bagnall, 24, of Eden Avenue, Walderslade, and Shiloh De Gale, 25, of Washington Road, Haywards Heath, West Sussex have both been charged with the offences.

They were arrested on Wednesday after Kent Police’s County Lines and Gangs Team carried out search warrants at two addresses in Chatham and a house in West Sussex.

A 25-year-old man from Chatham who was also detained has since been released pending further investigation.

De Gale and Bagnall appeared before Medway Magistrates’ Court on on Thursday and De Gale was remanded in custody and Bagnall was granted bail.

Both are due to appear at a hearing at Maidstone Crown Court on August 5.
