DRUG warrants have resulted in six people being charged, following coordinated strikes on addresses across Harlow and Chelmsford. 


Seven warrants were executed by police at locations in and around The Stow, Harlow, yesterday - Tuesday July 30, as part of their Clear, Hold, Build initiative.

Following this work, drugs, cash and weapons were all seized and charges have been authorised.

Alfie Speed, 20, of Rookes Crescent, Chelmsford, Armandas Alsalim, 22, of no fixed address, Luke Kitchener, 27, of Torkildsen Way, Harlow, Liam Taylor, 19, of Torkildsen Way, Harlow, Josh Douyere, 19, of Hare Street, Harlow and a 17-year-old boy, from Harlow, who can’t legally be named because of his age, have all been charged as a result.

All six face charges of being concerned in the supply of Class A and B drugs and were due to appear before Chelmsford Magistrates’ Court today - Wednesday July 31.

This is a Home Office-backed scheme bringing together public services to tackle offending and address underlying issues affecting the community in The Stow and wider Harlow.

Two further warrants were executed at addresses in Chelmsford as part of this work.

The operation was led by specialist detectives from Essex Police's Serious Violence Unit, supported by Harlow’s community and local policing teams.
