Derry Magistrates' Court
A man charged with a series of drug offences has been refused bail at Derry Magistrates' Court.
Oran Brown (21) of Hollymount Park in Derry appeared for a bail application charged with being concerned in the supply of class A drugs on dates between January 1 and March 26, 2034.
He also faced three similar charges on the same dates and similar charges from April 23.
The court heard that police attended an address and observed two males jumping out a back window.
One of the males was detained at the scene and the other, Brown , was detained nearby.
A variety of class A and B drugs were found in the house as well as a sum of cash.
A safe was found in the bedroom of the other man and police had to force entry and found more suspected drugs.
Phones seized suggested that Brown was involved in the supply of drugs to a group of about 40 customers.
On April 23 Brown was in a car that police stopped and there was a strong smell of cannabis.
Brown refused to give police his PIN number for his phone or bank account details.
Defence solicitor Seamus Quigley said that Brown's bail had been revoked in April of this year.
District Judge Ted Magill said that drugs were 'a scourge on society' and refused bail.
