During a road safety operation on Tuesday, July 5, 2022, patrols from the Road Safety Unit stopped the car in the town centre. The drugs and baton were seized, and the man was arrested on suspicion of having class B drugs and an offensive weapon in his possession. He was later released on bail pending further investigation.

Throughout the day, Kent Police officers used a mix of marked and unmarked vehicles, including police bikes, to ensure that motorists in the town followed the rules. They were joined by Dartford Borough Council and the Environment Agency representatives, who were focusing on waste crime and taxi licencing.
