A PRESTWICH man is among a group of seven people charged after thousands of pounds worth of drugs were seized in Manchester yesterday.

Jerome Gibson, 29, of Downham Crescent, along with six others involved in the operation, has been charged with supplying Class A drugs.

Over 100 officers from Greater Manchester Police executed warrants at eight addresses in Chorlton, Whalley Range, Moss Side and Withington.

The drugs, believed to be cocaine and ecstasy, were seized from the properties, along with £20,000 cash.

A Taser and stolen drivers licenses were also recovered.

All seven men are due to appear at Manchester Magistrates’ Court this morning.
