FOUR people charged in connection with a drugs haul worth up to £60,000 have appeared before a judge at Worcester Crown Court for a preliminary hearing.

They are: Paul Mills, aged 25, and Mark Burson, 29, both of Great Meadow, Warndon, Worcester, Victoria Burton, 26, of Shaftesbury Green, Warndon, Worcester, and Adam Heaven, 29, of Ryton Close, Redditch.

Judge John Cavell fixed a plea and directions hearing for December 8.

He granted Burton bail and remanded the others in custody.

The court heard that they face charges of conspiracy to supply cocaine and possession of the drug with intent to supply.

The case follows the seizure by police of three bars of cocaine, worth £40,000-£60,000, from the premises of a Worcester company.
