A SURREY policeman and a civilian employee were two of six people who appeared at Woking magistrates on drugs charges following a series of police raids which seized the largest ever haul of ecstasy tablets in Surrey.

Pc Kevin Davies, 28, of Rye Close, Farnborough, who is based at Guildford police station, is charged with conspiracy to supply cocaine and ecstasy and conspiring to pervert the course of justice.

Surrey police civilian employee Emma Barnett, 29, of Queens Court, Alexandra Road, Farnborough, is also charged with conspiracy to supply cocaine and ecstasy and conspiring to pervert the course of justice.

The pair were remanded in custody until March 31.

Meanwhile, a man is due to appear at the Old Bailey on Monday (March 31) after being charged with dealing cocaine and ecstasy.

Twenty-nine-year-old Daniel Clark, from Sunvale Avenue, Haslemere, appeared before Woking magistrates last Friday charged with the conspiracy to supply cocaine, MDMA ecstasy and with perverting the course of justice.

A house in Hindhead was also searched but nothing was found.

Three hundred and thirty Surrey Police officers, some of them armed, took part in a series of 35 raids last Thursday night and Friday morning across west and north-west Surrey and north-east Hampshire, "smashing the operations of a major crime gang".

During the raids a haul of ecstasy tablets worth more than £2 million in street value was recovered, along with £125,000 of cannabis and £60,000 of cocaine.

Twenty-two people were arrested following an intelligence-led police operation involving criminals who regularly used the Budokan Gymnasium at Frimley, which was sealed off by police last Friday.

The gang is believed to be responsible for the supply of Class A drugs, including cocaine and ecstasy, burglaries and the theft of high performance motor vehicles which were stolen in the Surrey Heath and adjoining areas.

Officers found nine luxury cars, including a Porsche, BMW and Lexus and two Ducati motorcycles; firearms including a fully loaded sawn-off shotgun, two handguns and a Tazer stun-gun; a pill press for manufacturing ecstasy tablets; a skunk cannabis factory and tens of thousands of pounds of cash.

The officer leading the investigation Superintendent Mick Day said: "The seizures include the largest ever haul of ecstasy tablets in Surrey; an estimated 200,000 tables worth in excess of £2 million on the street.

"This gang operated as a commodities group illegally supplying whatever commodity could make them money. That included drugs, firearms and stolen cars.

"This action shows the determination of Surrey Police to crack down on organised crime and in particular the supply of Class A drugs. The Communities Against Drugs partnership funding has played an important part in making today's operation possible."
