THREE men will appear in court, accused of drug dealing.

Gary Larwood, 25, of Long Riding, Basildon, Tyron Marshall, 25 of Burnt Mills Road, Wickford, and Marc Middleton, 25, of no fixed address, are accused of possession of cannabis, MDMA and cocaine with intent to supply.

They are also accused with possession of a weapon that could discharge a poisonous liquid.

Middleton is further accused of a stun gun and £360 worth of counterfeit £2 coins.

They did not enter pleas when they appeared at Basildon Magistrates’ Court.

The case was deemed so serious that it was adjourned to Basildon Crown Court for a plea and case management hearing on a date and time to be set by the court service.

The trio were released on bail with the conditions not to contact each other.
