NINE people have appeared at court following two separate undercover police investigations into the supply of hard drugs in Cumbria.

They appeared on a variety of charges relating to the supply of Class A and Class B drugs, and were arrested after police operations code-named Silkworm and Adder. Those in court on Friday of last week included Andrew Robinson, 32, of Yew Bank Lane, Whitehaven, and Angela Clark, 52, of Robert Owen Avenue, Cleator Moor.

Robinson pleaded guilty to possessing the Class B drug 4-methylmethylcathinone. He was given bail and will be sentenced at a later date.

Clark pleaded not guilty to possessing the same drug with intent to supply it on April 25 this year. She also denied being concerned, on the same day, in the supply of methcathinone or its derivatives, a Class B drug; and possessing a quantity of amphetamine.

She further denied possessing 212 counterfeit £1 coins.
