Four men are set to appear in court after being charges with drugs offences following a 'county lines' police investigation.

All of the men - two from Carlisle and two from Merseyside - have charged with conspiring to supply a Class A controlled drug.

They are:

· Bradley John Hickman, 35, of Ellesmere Way, Carlisle.

· Dylan Thomas Yates, 25, of Boode Croft, Liverpool.

· Joseph Arthur Graham, 40, of Borrowdale Gardens, Carlisle.

· James Joseph Bailey, 19, of Birkrig, Skelmersdale.

They have been remanded in custody ahead of an appearance at Carlisle's magistrates' court on Monday.

The charges follow arrests in September and November in Carlisle.
