Three men have been charged as part of a Kent and Essex Serious Crime Directorate investigation into the supply of class A drugs.
At around 5.05pm on Thursday 27 April 2023 police stopped a van, which was found to contain quantities of cocaine and cash, in the Centre Road area of New Ash Green.
The driver was arrested along with a second man who had been seen walking away from the vehicle towards a nearby property, where further packages of drugs were located.
At around 6.40pm officers stopped a car in Fawkham Road, West Kingsdown, and arrested another man in connection with the same investigation. Again the vehicle was found to contain quantities of cocaine and cash as well as cannabis.
A man aged 44 from Longfield, a 47-year-old from Stockport and a man aged 36, from Gravesend, have all since been charged with possession with intent to supply drugs.
They appeared before Maidstone magistrates on Saturday 29 April and bailed to attend Woolwich Crown Court on Tuesday 30 May.
