A suspected Herne Bay drug dealer has been arrested after officers found drugs hidden underneath a car’s gear stick.
On Wednesday 26 October 2022, a car which had previously been reported as suspicious in Herne Bay, was stopped by officers in Pinewood Place, Wilmington Dartford.
Working with a police dog, officers found a concealed bag in the car, containing cash, between 60 and 80 wraps of suspected class A drugs, three mobile phones and a locking knife.
A 22-year-old man from London was arrested on suspicion of possessing class A drugs with intent to supply, being concerned in the supply of a controlled drug, and possession of a bladed article. He has been released under investigation while enquiries by Kent Police’s County Lines and Gangs Team continue.
