Drug Bust in Maidstone: Cops Nab Four in Cocaine Sting
Police from Maidstone Town Centre Task Force made a big catch on the evening of Wednesday, July 6, 2022. They spotted a suspicious car on Hardy Street around 8 p.m. and decided to stop it. Their hunch paid off when a search uncovered cocaine, cash, and mobile phones inside. Two men in the vehicle were promptly detained on suspicion of drug trafficking.
£8,000 Worth of Cocaine Found in Town Centre House
The investigation heated up as officers searched a nearby house linked to the men. Inside a safe, they found around £8,000 worth of cocaine alongside more cash. A 35-year-old woman present at the property was arrested on the spot.
Another Haul and More Arrests in Tenterden
