A man is due to appear in court later after he was charged with drug-dealing in Ipswich.

Police were contacted shortly before 3pm on Wednesday following reports of drug-dealing in Bourne Park.

Officers attended the scene and, with the help of the police helicopter and police dog handlers, arrested six people on suspicion of committing drug offences. They were all taken to Martlesham Police Investigation Centre.
