A former caretaker at a private school has been charged with conspiracy to supply cocaine and amphetamine.

Police raided a building within the grounds of Haberdashers' Aske's Boys' School in Elstree on October 31.

It was part of an operation and investigation into drug supply networks in Hertfordshire.

Justin Terry, 45, formerly a caretaker at Habs', was arrested in Elstree and charged with conspiracy to supply controlled drugs.

A Hertfordshire Constabulary spokesperson said: "The school is fully supportive of the police investigation and there is no threat to the wider school community.

"The warrant was carried out as part of Operation Relentless, the Constabulary’s response to the on-going threat from organised criminal gangs.

"These groups pose a threat to local communities and the force is committed to identifying and relentlessly pursuing individuals and networks involved in serious and organised crime.

"As part of this work, we depend on members of the community to help us crack down on drug related crime. Any information you can provide, no matter how small it may seem, could greatly assist us."

A second man has also been charged in connection with this operation.
