A MAN and a woman have appeared in court after a large amount of illegal drugs was seized by police in Worcestershire.

Michael Vella, aged 46, of Highfield, Callow End, near Worcester, was accused of possession with intent to supply a controlled class B drug and driving a motor vehicle dangerously after police stopped an Audi travelling south on the M5 near junction eight at about 11pm on Friday and recovered 2kg of amphetamines.

Kerry Hopewell, 41, also of Highfield, was charged with possession with intent to supply a controlled class B drug.

Both appeared before Worcester magistrates yesterday and were remanded in custody to reappear at the same court on June 25.
