A MAN and a woman have been charged in connection with the supply of mephedrone in the Forest of Dean.

Suzanne Sogukcesme, 36 and of Saxon Place in Sedbury and Aaron Haile, 33 and of Catbrook in Chepstow, were both charged with possession with intent to supply class A and class B drugs and will appear before magistrates in Cheltenham on December 3.

It follows a warrant carried out by police at an address in Saxon Place in Sedbury on June 30 in which over 20 grams of suspected mephedrone in powder form and a number of syringes containing suspected cooked mephedrone were found.

Mephedrone, more commonly known as meow meow, is a class B drug but when cooked for injection it becomes a class A drug.
