Suspicious behaviour resulted in a man being arrested for drug and weapon offences in Chatham.

Officers from Medway’s Community Policing Team were on patrol in the Bournville Avenue area when they spotted a car accelerating away from them, at around 7pm on Friday 31 March 2023.

They caught up with the vehicle and shortly afterwards seized a quantity of cash, a plastic bottle containing suspected packets of cocaine, and a metal baton.
