Officers executed a warrant at an address in Barrow on Wednesday 14 October as part of Operation Alliance, Cumbria Police's response to serious and organised crime.
Officers from the Westmorland and Furness Community Serious and Organised Crime (CSOC) team, supported by colleagues from across the force, executed a warrant at an address on Longway, Barrow as part of proactive activity targeting organised criminality.
During the warrant, officers recovered a significant quantity of suspected cocaine and cannabis, along with items believed to be associated with the supply of controlled drugs, including scales and snap-lock bags.
The estimated street value of the drugs seized is in excess of £5,500.
Shaye Armstrong, 23, of Longway, Barrow was arrested and charged with possession with intent to supply a Class A controlled drug (cocaine), possession with intent to supply a Class B controlled drug (cannabis), possession of a Class A controlled drug (MDMA), and offences relating to the proceeds of crime.
He is due to appear at Barrow Magistrates court today (15 October).
A member of the Westmorland & Furness CSOC team said "Drugs can have a devastating impact on individuals, families and communities, which is why tackling those involved in their supply remains a priority for us.
"This result highlights the proactive work being carried out by officers to disrupt organised criminality and protect local residents from the harm associated with illegal drugs.
"We will continue to act on information received and target those who seek to profit from criminal activity."
