A Maidstone man’s dodgy drug deal went up in smoke after cops caught him stashing £6,000 worth of cocaine behind a tree outside his flat.

Caught Red-Handed Mid-Deal

Besar Cubaj, 28, was nabbed on 2 June 2025 in Bower Mount Road after police spotted a suspicious vehicle. Cubaj jumped into the backseat to complete a drug deal – but officers swooped in and arrested him on the spot.

He was found with 52 wraps of cocaine, including 11 hidden in foliage, along with £200 cash, a phone, and a small key.

Secret Stash and Shady Flat

The tiny key opened the front door of a nearby flat. Cubaj first denied living there but later admitted selling drugs because he couldn’t find proper accommodation.
“We’re pleased Cubaj will be off the streets and unable to exploit vulnerable people for a good while.”
