Man charged following Fareham raid on county lines crack cocaine network
POLICE have charged a man with being involved in a Class A drug network following an early morning raid on a Fareham property.
Kieran Rainford, from Cressall Close, Leatherhead, has been charged as part of an investigation into a county lines drug network stretching from Surrey to the Isle of Wight.
It follows officers executing an early morning warrant on a property in Fareham yesterday.
A spokesman from Hampshire Constabulary said: ‘Detectives investigating a county line running from Leatherhead to Newport executed an early-morning warrant in Fareham, as part of a wider operation looking into drugs supply.
‘The warrants were executed by officers from the force's specialist department on county lines, Operation Monument, supported by officers from Surrey Police.’
Rainford, 37, has been charged with two counts of being concerned in the supply of crack cocaine and heroin.
He has been remanded in custody and is due to appear at Southampton Magistrates Court today.
