High Halstow saw a significant police operation early Wednesday morning, July 30, 2025, leading to three arrests and the seizure of approximately 50 crack cocaine deals.
Kent Cops responded to reports of suspicious behaviour on The Street shortly after 2am and quickly located and detained a man and two teenagers. A search of a nearby vehicle uncovered a bag containing numerous crack cocaine deals, a larger quantity of suspected cocaine, cannabis, and electronic scales. Cash was also seized at the scene.
All three individuals were arrested and taken into custody. A subsequent search of a local address also yielded an additional quantity of cocaine. One individual, an 18-year-old, has been charged with possessing crack cocaine with intent to supply, possessing cannabis with intent to supply, and possessing criminal property (the seized cash). That person was remanded in custody and was due to appear before Medway Magistrates’ Court on Thursday, July 31. The two other teenagers arrested have been released on bail, pending further investigation.
