Drug Bust Leads to Arrest and Cannabis Haul
On 5 January 2023, officers arrested a 40-year-old woman from Margate, suspected of importing and possessing cannabis with intent to supply. That same day, cops raided a local property and seized around two kilos of Class B cannabis, along with plastic bags and paraphernalia linked to drug dealing.
Police Warn Drug Dealers Using the Post
Detective Sergeant Vanessa Law, East Kent CID, stated: “Kent Police is committed to tackling drug dealing, no matter what methods criminals use to bring illegal substances into the county. Working with partner agencies, we will continue to disrupt drug dealing networks at every opportunity.”
“Anyone involved in the supply of illegal drugs by post—dealers, users or accomplices—should know they face arrest, prosecution, and possibly jail.”
The woman has been bailed until April while investigations continue.
