On the morning of Friday, April 25, 2025, Kent Police executed search warrants at three addresses, leading to the recovery of suspected drugs and a variety of weapons.
At a property in Reed Street, officers seized a substance believed to be cocaine, along with cash, cannabis, deal bags, mobile phones, and scales. A number of weapons were also discovered, including zombie knives and knuckle dusters. A 22-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply Class A and B drugs, as well as possession of an offensive weapon.

An 18-year-old woman and a 17-year-old boy were subsequently detained for being concerned in the supply of a Class B drug. At a third property in Thatchers Lane, officers recovered suspected cocaine, cash, and various items of drug paraphernalia.
