A woman has been charged with drugs offences in Basingstoke.

It comes after officers carried out a warrant on Redwood Avenue at around 7am on 6 August. Later that day, officers made an arrest in the Rooksdown area following the discovery of suspected Class A drugs.

Emma Stainthorpe, 45, of Redwood Avenue, Basingstoke, has since been charged with possession with intent to supply a controlled drug of Class A x 2.

Stainthorpe has also been charged with being concerned in the supply of cocaine and heroin following a warrant that was carried out at the same address in March this year.

She is due to appear at Basingstoke Magistrates Court today (8 August).
