The plea comes after officers arrested a 29-year-old from London on suspicion of possession of class A controlled drug in Fawcett Road, Southsea on Saturday.

As well as the drug offence, he was also arrested on suspicion of possession of criminal property. He has since been released but remains under investigation.
