Three people have been charged in connection with an investigation into the supply of Class A drugs across the Medway area. The charges come after an extensive inquiry by county line detectives, which began back in March 2025.
Authorities initiated their investigation after identifying a particular phone line allegedly being used to advertise and facilitate the sale of crack cocaine and heroin to users. This intelligence led officers to execute a search warrant at a Chatham address on Wednesday, June 4. During the operation, a man was apprehended, and controlled drugs were seized.
Further inquiries led to a second arrest in the West Midlands on Sunday, June 15. The third suspect was taken into custody in Medway on Thursday, June 26, as the investigation continued to unfold.
All three individuals face charges of being concerned in the supply of both heroin and crack cocaine. They are scheduled to appear at Maidstone Crown Court for a hearing on Friday, July 25.
