A suspected organised criminal operation has been disrupted near Deal after police seized a large amount of drugs during Saturday afternoon, 10 January 2026 when police arrived at a property in The Strand, Walmer and uncovered a large Cannabis cultivation.
More than 300 plants were found with many rooms converted into cultivation areas across the multiple floors of the address. Officers dismantled the growing areas and removed growing equipment, lights and fans. The building has been secured and enquiries into the production of drugs remain ongoing.
District Commander for Dover, Ch Insp Liz Cokayne-Delves said:
‘Cultivations like these help to fund serious organised criminality so officers work relentlessly to identify these sites and take them apart. By making life difficult for criminals by disrupting their operations, it helps to keep our community safe.’
