Drugs, cash, and dangerous weapons have been seized and four people arrested following a series of coordinated police raids in Medway.
Kent Police executed search warrants at three addresses in Cliffe, near Rochester, early on Friday morning (April 25). The operation targeted suspected drug dealing and violent crime in the area.
At a property in Reed Street, officers recovered a quantity of suspected cocaine, cannabis, deal bags, mobile phones, scales, and cash. A disturbing array of weapons, including zombie knives and knuckle dusters, were also seized. A 22-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply Class A and B drugs and possession of offensive weapons.
A second warrant carried out nearby led to the discovery of cannabis and more deal bags. An 18-year-old woman and a 17-year-old boy were detained on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of Class B drugs.
At a third location in Thatchers Lane, officers uncovered an amount of suspected cocaine, cash, and drug-dealing equipment. A 32-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs.
All four suspects were taken into police custody and have since been bailed pending further enquiries.
