Medway Drug Bust: Four Arrested, Weapons and Cocaine Seized
In a major police crackdown, Kent officers swooped on three homes in Medway, seizing drugs, cash, and an arsenal of weapons. Four people face charges after coordinated raids in Cliffe, near Rochester, on Friday morning, April 25.
Zombie Knives and Knuckle Dusters Among Deadly Haul
The biggest haul came from a Reed Street property, where officers uncovered suspected cocaine, cannabis, deal bags, scales, mobile phones, and stacks of cash. They also found chilling weapons like zombie knives and knuckle dusters. A 22-year-old man was arrested for possession with intent to supply Class A and B drugs and possession of offensive weapons.
Nearby, a second search led to more cannabis and deal bags, resulting in the detention of an 18-year-old woman and a 17-year-old boy on suspicion of drug supply involvement. At a third address on Thatchers Lane, officers discovered more suspected cocaine, cash, and drug-dealing gear, with a 32-year-old man arrested for Class A drug supply.
Four Bailed as Police Push Back Against Medway Crime
All four suspects were taken into custody and have since been bailed pending further investigations. Kent Police remain fierce in their fight against the local drug trade.
“Our officers remain committed to targeting those who bring harm into our communities through the supply of illegal drugs and the possession of dangerous weapons,” a Kent Police spokesperson said. “We encourage anyone with information about suspected drug dealing or criminal activity to come forward.”
This operation is part of an ongoing campaign across Kent to disrupt organised crime and reduce violence linked to drugs.
