A man has denied being part of a conspiracy to supply cocaine in Ipswich.
Kieran O’Sullivan, 26, appeared at Ipswich Crown Court on Monday after being charged in connection with the seizure of 1.5kg of suspected cocaine, £30,000 cash and a hydraulic press from different locations in Ipswich and Horley, in Surrey, on Friday, May 8.
O’Sullivan, of Stanley Avenue, Ipswich was charged with a total of five offences.
He admitted possession with intent to supply cocaine but denied being concerned in the chain of supply or being part of a conspiracy to supply drugs in the town.
He also admitted possession of a prohibited weapon and criminal property – namely about £2,000 cash.
