Police in Norwich have seized drugs with an estimated street value of more than £65,000 following an investigation into suspected drug dealing.

Officers from Norfolk Police were carrying out patrols on Hotblack Road on Saturday evening, 31 October, when they stopped and searched a man in his late teens.

He was arrested on suspicion of possessing Class A and Class B drugs with intent to supply and taken to Aylsham Police Investigation Centre for questioning.

Further inquiries led officers to search a property on Hemming Way in Norwich.

During the search, police discovered quantities of cocaine and cannabis which had been packaged, with officers estimating their combined street value at more than £65,000.

Following the investigation, 19-year-old Markelian Lugja, of no fixed address, was charged with possession of cocaine with intent to supply, possession of cannabis with intent to supply and possession of criminal property.

He appeared before Great Yarmouth Magistrates' Court on Monday 2 November.

Magistrates remanded him in custody ahead of his next scheduled court appearance on 30 November 2026.

Norfolk Police confirmed the charges following the seizure, which involved both Class A and Class B controlled substances.

The case remains subject to ongoing criminal proceedings, and the allegations have not yet been determined by a court.
