Man swallows suspected class A drugs in Bracknell to avoid police

A London man required hospital treatment last week after allegedly swallowing a quantity of suspected class A drugs to avoid police while at an address in Bracknell

The 20-year-old man allegedly swallowed suspected wraps of heroin and crack cocaine on Tuesday afternoon (16/1), as police executed a Falcon warrant in Reeds Hill, Easthampstead, Bracknell.

Further wraps were found at the address and the 20-year-old was arrested on suspicion of being in possession of class A with intent to supply.

Following concerns for his welfare, the man was taken to hospital by officers where he remained for a period of three days under observation.

Upon his release on Friday (19/1), he was bailed by police pending analysis of the suspected class A drugs.

A second Falcon warrant was simultaneously executed at a nearby property and a 21-year-old Berkshire man was arrested and later charged with being in possession of cannabis.
