A MAN who was due to stand trial on drugs charges is being sought by police.

Ashley Khan, 30, of Rodmell Avenue in Saltdean, was due to go on trial at Hove Crown Court last month but did not attend.

Khan, who also goes by the name Ashkaan Kalhory, has been charged with three counts of handling stolen goods, two counts of possession with intent to supply a Class A drug and one count of possession with intent to supply a Class B drug.

He had been released on conditional bail by the court following an earlier pre-trial hearing.
