The suspected drug dealer was seen on Maidstone Road at around 5.40pm on Wednesday 12 October 2022 where he appeared to be loitering near to a house previously used for drug dealing. Upon seeing the officer, the 17-year-old boy from Wellingborough, tried to run from the area but was detained by the officer under Section 23 of the Misuse of Drugs Act. The 1 was then taken to Medway Police Station where he was searched. During the search officers found 60 wraps of heroin, a quantity of cash and two mobile phones. The teenager has since been released under investigation pending further enquiries.
